• Inhalation Risk: A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered.
• Effects of Short Term Exposure: The substance is severely irritating to the eyes. The substance is irritating to the gastrointestinal tract and respiratory tract.
• Role in Flotation Processes: Zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) is utilized as an inorganic depressant in flotation processes, particularly in the selective flotation of minerals. It is commonly used to depress sphalerite, a mineral often associated with other metal-sulfide minerals. Zinc sulfate depresses sphalerite before the flotation of other sulfide minerals to maximize the recovery of valuable resources.
• Activation of Depressed Sphalerite: In flotation processing, the activation of depressed sphalerite is necessary for the maximum recovery of zinc resources. Lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2) is used to activate the depressed sphalerite surface treated with zinc sulfate (ZnSO4). This activation step facilitates the flotation of sphalerite and enhances resource recovery.
• Biofortification of Banana Fruit: Zinc sulfate is used for the biofortification of banana fruit through injections into the pseudostem of banana trees. This method involves injecting solutions containing zinc sulfate directly into the plant's vascular system (xylem), which facilitates the uptake of zinc by the banana plant. As a result, zinc is transported to the fruits, enhancing their nutritional value.
• Immunostimulant for Viral Diseases: Zinc sulfate is proposed as a novel vaccine immunostimulant for challenging viral diseases like African swine fever (ASF) or COVID-19. This suggests that zinc sulfate may have immunostimulatory properties that could potentially enhance the efficacy of vaccines against these diseases.
