Zinc sulphate is an inorganic compound that appears as a colorless crystalline solid or white powder. It is highly soluble in water and has a slightly astringent taste. This compound is often used in various industrial applications, including the production of rayon, as a preservative for leather and wood, and in the manufacturing of lithopone, a white pigment.

In agriculture, zinc sulphate serves as a zinc supplement for animal feeds and fertilizers to prevent zinc deficiency in crops. It is also utilized in medicine as an astringent, in dietary supplements, and in topical applications to treat conditions like acne and zinc deficiency. Additionally, zinc sulphate is employed in water treatment processes and as a mordant in dyeing textiles.

When handling zinc sulphate in the laboratory, it is important to follow safety precautions to prevent harmful exposure and accidents:

  1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
    • Gloves: Wear chemical-resistant gloves to prevent skin contact.
    • Eye Protection: Use safety goggles or a face shield to protect your eyes.
    • Lab Coat: Wear a lab coat or apron to protect your skin and clothing.
    • Respiratory Protection: Use a dust mask or respirator if there is a risk of inhaling dust or fumes.
  2. Handling and Storage:
    • Ventilation: Ensure that the work area is well-ventilated to avoid inhaling dust or fumes.
    • Storage: Store zinc sulphate in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances like strong acids and bases.
    • Avoid Ingestion: Do not eat, drink, or smoke in areas where zinc sulphate is handled.
  3. Spill and Leak Procedures:
    • Containment: Immediately contain any spills to prevent spreading.
    • Clean-up: Use appropriate absorbent materials and clean up the spill while wearing protective equipment.
    • Disposal: Dispose of waste according to local, state, and federal regulations.
  4. First Aid Measures:
    • Inhalation: Move the person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, provide oxygen and seek medical attention.
    • Skin Contact: Wash the affected area with plenty of soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing.
    • Eye Contact: Rinse eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
    • Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water and seek immediate medical attention.
  5. Fire Safety:
    • Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide to extinguish fires involving zinc sulphate.
    • Firefighting: Firefighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
