Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate for Electroplating Industry, CAS 7758-99-8 Blue Crystal CuSO4.5H2O for Feed Additives

1. Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate Introduction

Copper(II) sulphate, also known as copper sulfate, is the chemical compound with the chemical formula CuSO4. This salt exists as a series of compounds that differ in their degree of hydration. The anhydrous form is a pale green or gray-white powder, whereas the pentahydrate (CuSO4·5H2O), the most commonly encountered salt, is bright blue. Copper sulfate exothermically dissolves in water to give the aquo complex [Cu(H2O)6]2+, which has octahedral molecular geometry and is paramagnetic. Other names for copper(II) sulfate are "blue vitriol" and "bluestone". It is widely used in agricultural industry, electroplating industry, feed additive, etc.

3. Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate Application

3.1 Agriculture: Copper sulfate pentahydrate has a wide range of applications in the agricultural field. It can be used as an important trace element fertilizer to supplement copper in soil. Copper is one of the essential elements for plant growth and development, which can promote basic physiological processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, and nitrogen metabolism in plants. Therefore, moderate use of copper sulfate pentahydrate can increase crop yield and quality, prevent diseases caused by copper deficiency, such as copper deficiency syndrome.

3.2 Copper sulfate pentahydrate also has important applications in animal husbandry. It can be used as a feed additive to supplement copper in animals. Copper is involved in the activation and catalysis of many enzymes in animals, and has important effects on the growth and development, immune function and reproduction of animals. Appropriate use of copper sulfate pentahydrate can prevent and treat copper deficiency in animals and improve the performance and health of animals.

3.3 Electroplating: Copper sulfate pentahydrate is utilized in electroplating processes. It serves as an electrolyte, providing a source of copper ions necessary for the deposition of a thin layer of copper onto metal surfaces. This electroplating technique enhances the appearance, durability, and corrosion resistance of various objects, including jewelry, decorative items, and electronic components.

3.4 Other Industrial Applications: Copper sulfate pentahydrate finds applications in various industrial processes. It acts as a catalyst in chemical reactions, particularly in organic synthesis. It is also used in the production of dyes, pigments, and inks, as well as in the manufacturing of copper-based chemicals and compounds.

4. Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate Used as Feed Additive

4.1. Copper sulfate pentahydrate can be used to prevent feed. It can effectively prevent feed mold and has the effect of promoting growth and reducing feed ratio.

4.2. A moderate amount of copper sulfate can constrict capillaries, separate the ulcerated intestinal mucosa and tissue, and achieve anti-inflammatory and astringent effects.

4.3. Copper sulfate is corrosive and can remove decaying tissue, promote the formation of new tissue, while also having a killing effect on fungi such as Aspergillus flavus
