Zinc sulfate heptahydrate is an inorganic compound that is used for dyeing, mining, electroplating, brewing, etc. It works as a component in brewers and improves the formation and growth of yeast. It is used as a coagulant and is included in rayon production. It is utilized as an electrolyte and used in electroplating metal objects. It is used as a mordant in the dyestuff industry and for dyeing and tanning in the textile and leather industries. It is utilized as an additive in certain agrochemical products, including animal feed supplements, etc. It is used in oral rehydration therapy that treats diarrhea or stomach-related issues in the medical sector.

The demand for zinc sulfate heptahydrate is affected by its applications in the textile, dyestuff, chemical, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries. Its usage as an additive in dyeing chemicals boosts its demand in chemical, textile, and leather industries. Its usage in different commercial operations, including brewing, electroplating, and mining, drives its demand in the metal, beverages, and chemical industries. Its applications in the production of agrochemicals strengthen its demand in the market. The growing awareness of nutritional deficiencies has led to a rise in its usage in supplements. Also, government policies for improving agricultural productivity drive market growth. Altogether, these factors govern industrial zinc sulfate heptahydrate procurement in the global market.

Raw Material for Zinc Sulfate Heptahydrate Production

According to the Zinc Sulfate Heptahydrate manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Zinc Sulfate Heptahydrate include Smithsonite-Sulfuric Acid.

Manufacturing Process of Zinc Sulfate Heptahydrate

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

1. Production From Smithsonite and Sulfuric Acid: The production of Zinc Sulfate Heptahydrate involves its extraction from Smithsonite. First, the smithsonite mineral ore is ground into a fine powder and roasted. This powder is leached with sulfuric acid to dissolve the zinc content. The resulting solution is filtered to remove impurities, followed by evaporation. Finally, the concentrated solution is cooled for crystallization, forming zinc sulfate heptahydrate as the final product.

Zinc sulfate heptahydrate has a molecular formula of ZnSO4·7H2O, and its molecular weight is 287.6 g/mol. It is a clear, colorless crystalline compound, and its density is 1.97 g/cm3 under a standard temperature of 25 °C. It has no odor or color and can remain stable under normal conditions.  Its melting point is at 100°C, and it loses its water molecules at 280°C. It shows high solubility in water and is moderately soluble in acids but insoluble in alcohol. It decomposes on heating, releasing irritating and toxic fumes of sulfur dioxide and zinc oxide in the air.
