Overview | copper sulfate pentahydrate (chemical formula: CuSO4 · 5H2O): Blue alum, gall alum, blue triclinic crystals, dry air is easy to weathering, heat to 190 deg C to lose 4 molecules of crystal water, to 258 deg C into anhydrous salt. Toxic. Soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol. It can be used for pesticides, harmful, irritating to the eyes and skin, and can have long-term adverse effects on the water environment. Copper sulfate crystal is a beautiful blue crystal, the crystal is plate-like or short columnar, with a beautiful blue, the composition is mainly copper sulfate pentahydrate, that is, the hydrate of copper sulfate, can be used for electroplating or dyeing, exposure to dry air will change from a loss of water to an opaque, light greenish white powder. |
molecular structure and dry dehydration | copper sulfate is a strong acid and weak base salt, because the hydrolysis solution is weakly acidic. The water absorption is very strong, and the reaction after water absorption produces blue copper sulfate pentahydrate. The aqueous solution was blue in color. The copper sulfate solution was concentrated and crystallized to obtain blue crystals of copper sulfate pentahydrate. In the crystal structure of copper sulfate five hydrate, the copper ion is octahedral coordination, which is surrounded by four H2O and two O. The fifth H2O is connected with two H2O in the Cu octahedron and two O in [SO4], which is tetrahedral and plays a buffering role in the structure. The copper sulfate crystal pentahydrate is water-losing in three steps. In the figure above, two water molecules that bind to copper ions only by coordination bonds are first lost, and the approximate temperature is 102 degrees Celsius. Two of the water molecules that bind with a coordinate bond to the copper ion and hydrogen bond with one of the outer water molecules are lost with increasing temperature, approximately 113 degrees Celsius. The outermost water molecule is the most difficult to lose because its hydrogen atom forms a hydrogen bond with the oxygen atom in the surrounding sulfate ion, and its oxygen atom forms a hydrogen bond with the hydrogen atom of the water molecule coordinated with the copper ion, in general, a stable ring-like structure is formed, and therefore a higher energy is required to break the structure. The temperature required to lose the outermost water molecule is approximately 258 degrees Celsius. |

production method | sulfuric acid method copper powder is calcined at 600~700 ℃ to oxidize to produce copper oxide, after sulfuric acid decomposition, clarification and removal of insoluble impurities, after cooling crystallization, filtration, drying, made copper sulfate products. The 2Cu + O2 → 2COCuO + H2SO4 → CuSO4 10 H2O electrolyte recovery waste electrolyte (including Cu50 ~ 60g/L,H2SO4180 ~ 200g/L) with the roasting treated copper mud made of fine copper powder (its composition is Cu 65% ~ 70%, CuO 20% ~ 30%, and contains a small amount of Cu2O, etc.), the clear solution was cooled and crystallized, separated and dried to obtain copper sulfate. Recovery method copper pollution is the copper compound precipitate in the copper acetate ammonia solution in the copper washing tower of the synthetic ammonia feed gas in the nitrogen fertilizer plant. After calcination at 700 C, copper sulfate is formed by oxidation to copper oxide and then reacted with sulfuric acid. Dissolution of copper iron precipitation acid leaching, chemical concentration crystallization method using low-grade copper oxide (CuO 3% or so) by crushing to a certain particle size, adding sulfuric acid impregnation, adding dissolution of copper iron (manganese, composition of vanadium and copper compounds) direct acid leaching to obtain copper-iron ratio greater than 100 of copper sulfate leaching solution, and then add chemical concentrate (composed of calcium and sulfur compounds) for chemical concentration, discharge 70% ~ 90% of the water, a little evaporation, after cooling crystallization, centrifugal separation, air drying, prepared copper sulfate products. waste sea bream was placed in a baking furnace and calcined at 60-70 °c to form copper oxide. Then the copper oxide is heated, dissolved in sulfuric acid, cooled to crystallize, centrifuged to dehydrate, washed and dried to obtain the product. |
