Ferrous sulphate heptahydrate, with the molecular formula FeSO4·7H2O, is a light blue-green crystalline solid. Its effectiveness as a coagulant is due to its iron content, which facilitates the precipitation of impurities in water treatment processes. The stability of this compound is critical, as it tends to oxidize, turning yellowish unless stored in a low-pH environment. Buyers must consider the product's purity and application requirements when choosing a grade. Purity ranges from 97% for industrial uses to over 99% for reagent and food-grade applications. Commonly supplied in 25 kg moisture-resistant HDPE or kraft bags, ensuring stable delivery conditions.
