Iron(II) sulphate monohydrate neutralised is mainly used in the cement industry for reduction of hexavalent chromium.
Enrichment of cement with dry ferrous sulphate reduces the content of chromium, which is known to cause stinging and allergies. The EU directive requires that all cement manufacturers reduce the chromium compounds. Furthermore, it can be used as an additive to fertilizers to enhance the iron content, control of plant chlorosis or an addition of peat.
