Ceneraloverview:
Magnesium Sulphate Anhydrous is a chemical compound with the formula MgSO4
It is the anhydrous (water-free) form of magnesium sulfate.
Commonly known as Epsom salt in its hydrated form.
Physical Properties:
Appears as a white, crystalline powder.
Has a melting point of approximately 1,124’℃ (2,055°F).
Exhibits a density of around 2.66 g/cm?
Odorless with a bitter taste.
Chemical Properties:
Highly soluble in water, with a moderate solubility in ethanol.
The solubility increases with temperature.
In aqueous solution, it dissociates into magnesium and sulfate ions
Exhibits hygroscopic properties, meaning it can absorb water from the air.
Production:
Obtained through the dehydration of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate.
Can also be synthesized by the reaction of magnesium oxide or carbonate with sulfuric acid
Grades and Purity:
Typically available in high-purity grades, often >99% pure.
Pharmaceutical grade is available, which meets specific purity standards for medical use.
Food grade is also produced, suitable for consumption and food processing.
Health and safety:
Considered non-toxic and generally safe for use in foods and pharmaceuticals
Can cause skin and eye irritation upon contact in its pure form.
Inhalation of dust may cause respiratory irritation.
