Magnesium sulfate anhydrous(CAS: 139939-75-6)

Magnesium sulfate anhydrous (CAS: 139939-75-6) is a white crystalline solid with a molecular weight of 120.37 g/mol. It is highly soluble in water and slightly soluble in ethanol. Chemically, it is a strong Lewis acid and can react with bases to form magnesium hydroxides.

Magnesium sulfate anhydrous is typically synthesized by the reaction of magnesium oxide or magnesium hydroxide with sulfuric acid. The process involves the careful control of temperature and concentration to achieve high yield and selectivity.

Magnesium sulfate anhydrous is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry for various applications, including as a laxative and in the treatment of hyperammonemia. It is also used in the polymer industry for its water-absorbing properties and in the electronics industry as an electrolyte in semiconductor manufacture.

When handling Magnesium sulfate anhydrous, it is important to use personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and eye protection. Work should be conducted in a well-ventilated area or fume hood. Spills should be cleaned up with caution, using appropriate PPE. Always refer to the safety data sheet (SDS) for detailed handling and disposal instructions.
