Functions of inorganic salts

1. They are structural components of cells.

Some inorganic salts are important components of certain complex compounds within the cell.

Examples: Mg2+ is an essential component of the chlorophyll molecule; Fe2+ is a major component of hemoglobin; and calcium carbonate is an important component of bone and teeth in animals and humans.

2. It participates in and maintains the metabolic activities of living organisms.

In the various unit operations of inorganic salt production, there are many exist occupational hazards. Such as in the ore crushing process of dust and poisonous hazards, noise hazards and mechanical injuries; in the roasting process should pay attention to burns and toxic gas protection; solid material handling drive mechanism in operation is easy to the operator's clothes, hands, hair, etc. involved; electrolysis process of hydrogen release, and the air is easy to form explosive mixtures, in case of open flames there is a risk of explosion, and so on.

Expanded profile:

Inorganic salts are mineral nutrients found in the body and in food, and most inorganic salts in the cell exist in ionic form and are composed of a combination of organic and inorganic substances. The human body has been found to have more than 20 kinds of essential inorganic salts, accounting for about 4 to 5% of the body weight.

The content of which more (>5g) for calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, chlorine, magnesium, sulfur seven; daily dietary needs are more than 100mg, known as macronutrients.

Another low content, with recent advances in analytical technology, the use of atomic absorption spectroscopy, neutron activation, plasma emission spectroscopy and other trace means of analysis, found that iron, iodine, copper, zinc, manganese, cobalt, molybdenum, selenium, chromium, nickel, silicon, fluorine, vanadium, and other elements are essential to the body's dietary requirement of μg ~ mg per day is called trace elements.
