Application


  • Optimization in vinasse processing: Magnesium sulfate plays a role in optimizing the electrodialysis and nanofiltration process of vinasse, enhancing environmental sustainability and efficiency in waste management practices, which are crucial for industrial applications including the production of IVD reagents (Duarte et al., 2023).

  • Screening of flame retardant residues: In analytical methodologies like QuEChERS-gas chromatography, magnesium sulfate is employed for its efficacy in the extraction and cleanup steps, underscoring its importance in ensuring high-purity standards required for accurate and reliable diagnostic assays (Li et al., 2023).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Magnesium sulphate can be used to treat acute severe asthma. It is mainly considered as a neuroprotective agent.
