Industrially, Ferrous sulfate (CAS NO.7720-78-7) is mainly used as a precursor to other iron compounds. It is a reducing agent, mostly for the reduction of chromate in cement.In nutritional supplement, it can be used to fortify foods and to treat iron-deficiency anemia and also used for treating iron chlorosis. In colorant, it can be used in such as used in the manufacture of inks.In horticulture it is used for treating iron chlorosis. It is also used as a lawn conditioner and moss killer. It has been applied for the purification of water by flocculation and for phosphate removal in municipal and industrial sewage treatment plants to prevent eutrophication of surface water bodies. It is used as a traditional method of treating wood panel on houses, either alone, dissolved in water, or as a component of water-based paint.
In the finishing of steel prior to plating or coating, the steel sheet or rod is passed through pickling baths of sulfuric acid. This will produces large quantities of Ferrous sulfate (CAS NO.7720-78-7) as a by-product:
Fe + H2SO4 → FeSO4 + H2
Another source of ferrous sulfate is from the production of titanium dioxide from ilmenite via the sulfate process.
It is also prepared by oxidation of pyrite commercially :
2 FeS2 + 7 O2 + 2 H2O → 2 FeSO4 + 2 H2SO4
