ZINC SULPHATE MONOHYDRATE 

(CAP: 25 TONS/DAY)

[EIRI/EDPR/4846] J.C.: 3067

Zinc sulphate is a widely used chemical and has been known under the name of "White Vitriol". Although Zinc Sulphate (mono hydrate) occurs in nature in small quantities as mineral Glosarite, this compound is normally manufactured synthetically.

It is the colourless white free flowing powder. It exists in powder form of hydrates as, ZnSo4.H2O. Zinc sulphate is also found in three hydrates forms whose molecular formulas are ZnSo4.4H2O, ZnSo4.H2O. The unstable hydrates are more soluble than stable form. The solubility of the unstable hydrate is 58.7 gm in 10gm of water at 18oc while stable shows only 52.7 gm in 100 grams. The important & popular commercial form of the compound is ZnSo4.7H2O Heptahydrated (21%), & ZnSO4. H2O.

In 1978 Mr. P.N. Thakar and Mr. N.S. Randhewa of Punjab Agriculture University Ludhiana worked on "Micronutrients in Indian Agiculture" and established the areas of Zinc deficiency based on sail test and crop responses.

In reference to Bihar state they found that zinc deficiency varies from 25% to 75% and even more of the normal value. It was also shown that the response of zinc sulphate was good for rice potato tea in particular and for all the cereals as a whole.
