Zinc Sulfate is an inorganic chemical compound that finds a wide range of applications in various industries. It is used as a dietary supplement and certain pharmaceutical compounds. Extensively used for the treatment and prevention of zinc deficiency, this compound is widely known for its medical applications. It is also considered to be a drug that is incorporated with oral rehydration therapy to treat diarrhea in children. Additionally, zinc sulfate monohydrate is also employed as a coagulant in producing rayon textile materials. It is also used as a preservative for storing material made of leather.

The market driver for zinc sulfate is driven by its significant applications in the medical and pharmaceutical industries, which contributes to its demand. Thus, the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries are two major industries that promote its market growth. Its employment as an additive in the manufacture of artificial silk, rayon, etc, elevates its demand in the textile industry. In general, the cost and the availability of raw materials (zinc oxide, etc.), their pricing, their applications in the medical industry, technological advancements, logistics, supplier relationships, and quality standards are some factors that influence industrial Zinc Sulfate procurement globally.

Raw Material for Zinc Sulfate Production

According to the Zinc Sulfate manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Zinc Sulfate production include Zinc Oxide-Sulfuric Acid.

Manufacturing Process of Zinc Sulfate

The extensive Zinc Sulfate production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production from Zinc Oxide: This method of production involves the use of zinc oxide as the starting material for the preparation of zinc sulfate as the product. The process is initiated by the reaction of zinc oxide (ZnO) with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) at moderate temperatures, which results in the formation of zinc sulfate as the final product. Moreover, zinc carbonate can also be used as a reactant in place of zinc oxide, but zinc carbonate involves the release of CO2 gas that contributes to harmful emissions. Therefore, the reaction of zinc oxide with sulfuric acid is regarded as the commercial method for producing zinc sulfate due to its efficiency.

Zinc Sulfate (ZnSO4) is an industrial chemical compound obtained from the reaction of zinc metal or zinc-containing minerals with sulfuric acid. The melting point of anhydrous zinc sulfate is around 680°C. It is highly soluble in water, with a solubility of about 57 g/100 mL at 20°C and insoluble in ether and ethanol. This compound is non-flammable and stable under normal conditions. It is a colorless, non-combustible, crystalline substance. Its melting point is around 680°C, and its boiling point is approximately 740°C. The molecular weight of zinc sulfate is 161.48 g/mol, and its density measures 3.5 g/cm3. It is an odorless, white, or colorless crystalline solid that is soluble in water but insoluble in common alcohols. It is also known as white vitriol and is listed on the World Health Organization's medication list for its role in treating oral issues.
