Sulfate derived refers to a substance or compound that originates from or is produced by sulfate. In chemistry, sulfate is a polyatomic anion with the chemical formula SO4^2-. This anion is a common component of many inorganic salts and is a crucial element in biological processes. For instance, sulfuric acid is a widely used industrial chemical that dissociates to form sulfate ions.
Many natural and synthetic compounds can be described as sulfate derived. Examples include calcium sulfate (gypsum),
The term sulfate derived can also be applied in biological contexts. For example, sulfate is essential for
