| Application: | Magnesium sulfate can be used as a precursor salt to synthesize magnesium manganese spinel (MgMn2O4) as cathode material for use in rechargeable Mg batteries. It is also used in aqueous two-phase partitioning systems along with polyethylene glycol for the purification of biomolecules. MgSO4 (anhydrous) can also be used as a drying agent in organic synthesis for the removal of traces of water from organic extracts. |
| Features and Benefits: | • Increased efficiency – Eliminates time and effort of loosening hardened powders • Safety – Eliminates tools of force used to break up clumps,· • Ecology – Reduces waste as it does not stick to the packaging • Economy – Faster preparation and solvation increase productivity and reduce costs • Assured Quality – Excellent, expert-tested quality with no anti-caking agents • Flexible volumes – Available from research amounts to scale-up quantities |
| General description: | Magnesium sulfate is an inorganic salt that is used as a magnesium precursor to synthesize Mg-based compounds. It is also used as a catalyst for various organic transformations. |
