• Chemical formula FeSO4.(1)H2O

• Identification CAS Nr. 7720-78-7

• Process

  Ferrous sulphate is a by-product from the production of titanium dioxide or from the production of steel. For use as feed-ingredient this ferrous sulphate is being dried or treated with anti-caking to ensure stability and free-flowing properties.

• Chemical characteristics (typical)

  Fe	29.5/30 %	As	< 0.25 ppm
  Mg	0.9 %	Cd	< 0.03 ppm
  Mn	0.08 %	Cu	< 2 ppm
  Ti	0.4 %	Cr	< 20 ppm
  Insolubles		Hg	< 0.05 ppm
  in water	0.6 %	Pb	< 2 ppm
  		Zn	< 100 ppm

• Physical properties (typical)

  Apperent density			1.2 - 1.4 kg/dm³
  Appearance			dried powder or fine granular
  Colour			greyish

• Handling / storage / toxicity

  Handling	no special precautions necessary if used correctly.
  	prevent formation of dust
