APPLICATION OF FERROUS SULPHATE
Nutrition
Ferrous sulfate is used to treat iron-deficiency anemia. Side effects of therapy may include nausea and epigastria abdominal discomfort after taking iron. These side effects may be minimized by taking ferrous sulfate at bedtime.Ferrous sulfate is also used to fortify various foods with iron, for example, the enriched corn meal in Cheetos

Colouring
Ferrous sulfate is used in the manufacture of inks, most notably iron gall ink, which was used from the Middle Ages until the American Revolution. It also finds use in wool dyeing as a mordant, and in water purification as a substitute for aluminium sulfate.
Two different methods for the direct application of indigo dye were developed in England in the eighteenth century and remained in use well into the nineteenth century. One of these, known as china blue, involved iron(II) sulfate. After printing an insoluble form of indigo onto the fabric, the indigo was reduced to leuco-indigo in a sequence of baths of ferrous sulfate (with reoxidation to indigo in air between immersions). The china blue process could make sharp designs, but it could not produce the dark hues of other methods.Ferrous sulfate can also be used to stain concrete a yellowish rust color. Woodworkers use ferrous sulfate solutions to color maple wood a silvery hue

Other uses
In horticulture it is used as a lawn conditioner and moss killer.In the second half of the 19th century, Ferrous Sulfate was also used as a photographic developer for Collodion process images.Ferrous sulphate is sometimes added to the cooling water flowing through the brass tubes of a turbine condenser. It forms an erosion-resistant, protective coating on the inside of the tube.
