Manganese Sulfate CAS 7785-87-7

• Exceptional Purity & Stability: Available in high-purity grades (≥98%), it exhibits excellent chemical stability under standard storage and processing conditions, ensuring consistent performance across applications without degradation.
• High Bioavailability: As a bioactive manganese source, it is easily absorbed by plants, animals, and industrial processes, outperforming insoluble manganese compounds (e.g., manganese oxide) in nutrient delivery efficiency.
• Cost-Effective Versatility: Low production costs and scalable manufacturing make it a cost-competitive choice for bulk applications (e.g., fertilizers, feed additives, chemical synthesis). Its multi-functional nature eliminates the need for specialized alternatives across diverse sectors.
• Eco-Friendly & Compliant: Non-toxic when used as directed, it meets global environmental and safety standards (e.g., REACH, FDA). It is biodegradable in agricultural and aquatic environments, minimizing ecological impact.
• Easy Formulation: Highly soluble in water and compatible with most organic/inorganic additives, it can be easily integrated into liquid formulations (e.g., foliar sprays, aqueous coatings) or solid blends (e.g., feed premixes, fertilizer granules).

1. Agriculture & Animal Husbandry

• Crop Nutrition: Used as a trace element fertilizer (soil amendment or foliar spray) for cereals (rice, wheat, corn), fruits (apple, citrus), and vegetables. It enhances chlorophyll synthesis, improves photosynthetic efficiency, and prevents manganese deficiency (e.g., leaf chlorosis, stunted growth), increasing crop yield by 10-20% and improving quality (e.g., protein content, fruit sweetness).
• Animal Feed Additive: Added to livestock (pigs, cattle, poultry) and aquaculture (fish, shrimp) feed to support bone development, immune function, and reproductive health. It prevents manganese deficiency-related disorders (e.g., reduced egg production in poultry, skeletal deformities in pigs) and improves feed conversion ratio (FCR).

2. Chemical Industry

• Raw Material for Manganese Compounds: The primary precursor for manufacturing manganese salts (e.g., manganese chloride, manganese carbonate, manganese acetate) and manganese-based chemicals (e.g., manganese dioxide for batteries, manganese citrate for food additives).
• Catalyst & Coagulant: Used as a catalyst in organic synthesis (e.g., oxidation reactions) and a coagulant in wastewater treatment to remove heavy metals and suspended solids.

3. Materials & Manufacturing

• Coatings & Pigments: Acts as a drier in alkyd resin coatings to accelerate curing and improve film hardness. It is also a component in manganese-based pigments (e.g., brown/black pigments for ceramics and plastics).
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Used as a bleaching auxiliary in pulp processing to enhance brightness and reduce chlorine consumption. It also improves paper strength and ink adhesion.
• Ceramics & Glass: Added to ceramic glazes and glass formulations to impart color (e.g., pink, purple hues) and enhance thermal stability and mechanical strength.
• Electronics: High-purity manganese sulfate is used in the production of lithium-ion battery cathodes (e.g., LiMn₂O₄) and electronic components, leveraging its electrochemical stability.
• Textile Industry: Serves as a mordant in textile dyeing (especially for natural fibers like cotton and wool) to improve dye fastness and color uniformity.

4. Other Applications

• Food & Beverage: Approved as a food fortifier (E542) to supplement manganese in processed foods, beverages, and dietary supplements.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used in pharmaceutical formulations to treat manganese deficiency in humans, supporting neurological function and bone health.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Mixed with pesticides/herbicides to enhance their efficacy and reduce environmental runoff.
