Magnesium sulphate monohydrate
What is Magnesium sulphate monohydrate?
Magnesium sulphate monohydrate (CAS 14567-64-7), commercially known as Kieserite, is an inorganic magnesium salt used in agriculture and industrial processing.
Where is Magnesium sulphate monohydrate used?
- Agriculture: slow-releasing magnesium and sulphur source applied to soil or blended into compound fertilizers to correct deficiencies
- Cereals, oilseed rape, sugar beet and grassland
- Dry fertilizer blending: lower water content than heptahydrate grades supports moisture-stable granules
- Water treatment: magnesium ion source for pH buffering, coagulation and flocculation in municipal and industrial effluent systems
- Feed-grade applications supplement magnesium in compound animal feeds.
Good to know: Lower water content than heptahydrate grades makes it preferred for dry fertilizer blending where moisture-stable granules are critical.
Commercial specifications
- Minimum MgO and SO₃ content requirements for quality control
- Big bags or loose bulk for agricultural and large-scale industrial volumes
