A malachite green color, fine particles of amorphous powder, its relative density of 3. 85. Insoluble in cold water and alcohol, soluble in acid and form the corresponding copper salts, soluble in aqueous solutions of cyanide, sodium hydroxide, ammonium salts and alkali metal carbonates to form copper complexes. When boiled in alkali metal carbonate solution, Brown copper oxide is formed, which is decomposed into black copper oxide, water and carbon dioxide at 200~220 ℃. Unstable in hydrogen sulfide atmosphere. The solubility in water was 0.0008%.
The precipitation of basic copper carbonate can be obtained by adding sodium carbonate to a dilute copper sulfate solution or by passing carbon dioxide into a copper hydroxide suspension.
as a feed additive, the absorption and utilization of copper carbonate in ruminants such as cattle is higher than that of other inorganic copper. However, due to the high cost, its application is limited.
copper carbonate with dust, should avoid contact with the skin, eyes and other inhalation.

malachite | basic copper carbonate, also known as copper carbonate, is malachite green, so it is also called malachite, which is a precious mineral gem. It is a substance produced by the reaction of copper with oxygen, carbon dioxide and water in the air. It is also called copper rust and is green in color. Heating in air will decompose into copper oxide, water and carbon dioxide. Soluble in acid and form the corresponding copper salt. It is also soluble in cyanide, ammonium salt and alkali metal carbonate aqueous solution to form copper complexes. When boiled in water or heated in a strong alkali solution, brown copper oxide can be generated, which is decomposed into black copper oxide at 200°C. It is unstable in a hydrogen sulfide atmosphere and can react with hydrogen sulfide to form copper sulfide. Basic copper carbonate has more than a dozen forms of compounds according to the ratio of CuCO3:H2O. It exists in the form of malachite in nature. If it is placed in the air for a long time, it will absorb moisture and release carbon dioxide, which will slowly become a green malachite composition. It exists in nature in the form of blue copper ore. Copper carbonate and copper bicarbonate actually do not exist. Adding sodium carbonate to dilute copper sulfate solution or passing carbon dioxide into copper hydroxide suspension can obtain basic copper carbonate precipitate. Basic copper carbonate can be regarded as composed of copper hydroxide and copper carbonate. In fact, there are two types of copper hydroxide, one copper carbonate and two copper carbonate. The former chemical formula is CuCO3 · Cu(OH)2, which is a grass-green monoclinic crystalline fibrous mass, or dark green powder. The precipitate obtained from the solution initially appears green, and becomes dark green in the solution after being placed. It is toxic and is the main component of the green rust (commonly known as patina) generated on the surface of copper. The chemical formula of the latter is 2 CuCO3 · Cu(OH)2, dark sky blue, very bright monoclinic crystals, or compact crystalline clusters. It is insoluble in water, soluble in ammonia and hot and concentrated sodium bicarbonate solution to become blue, and decomposes at 300°C. basic copper carbonate can be used to make flares, fireworks, paint pigments, other copper salts, solid phosphor activators, pesticides, seed treatment and as fungicides and antidotes, and also used in electroplating. |

toxicity | in the harmful effects of excess copper, the hydrogen-sulfur reaction of Cu2 + with enzyme plays a decisive role. when drinking water containing 44 mg/L copper, acute gastroenteritis occurs. oral administration of 0.2~0.5g copper salt can cause vomiting, l ~ 2 g can cause severe vomiting, and sometimes fatal poisoning can occur. Chronic poisoning is manifested by nervous system dysfunction, liver and kidney dysfunction, nasal septum ulcer and perforation, facial skin, hair and conjunctiva sometimes turn pale yellow-green or light black-green. Dust and solution can irritate eyes and mucous membranes. The maximum allowable concentration of metal copper is 1 mg/m3 and copper oxide is 0.1 mg/m3. In case of copper poisoning, gastric lavage can be performed with 0.1% K4[Fe(CN)6] solution orally, or oral protein water and magnesium oxide laxative can be taken orally. Abdominal pain can be injected with 0.1% atropine sulfate 1 ml subcutaneously; Eye irritation can be washed with water. When working, you should wear anti-virus masks, protective glasses and dust-proof overalls. |
