inorganic compound | copper sulfate is an inorganic compound that is used by the inorganic industry to make other copper salts such as cuprous chloride, cupric chloride, cupric pyrophosphate, cuprous oxide, copper acetate, copper carbonate, etc. The common form of copper sulfate is Crystal, anhydrous copper sulfate is white crystal powder, and may also be light gray green due to impurities, which is a soluble copper salt. The relative density is 3.603, the solubility in water is 23.05g at 25 ° C, insoluble in ethanol and ether, soluble in water, the aqueous solution is blue, is a strong acid and weak alkali salt, the hydrolysis solution is weakly acidic, it has a strong ability to kill pathogens and is widely used in the prevention and treatment of fish diseases in aquaculture. The solution is concentrated and crystallized to obtain blue crystals of copper sulfate pentahydrate, commonly known as bile alum, Stone Gall, copper alum or Blue alum, toxic, odorless, with metal astringency, stable at normal temperature and pressure, not deliquescent, in dry air will gradually weathering, heated to 45 deg C when the loss of two molecules of crystal water, 110 deg C when the loss of four molecules of crystal water, it loses all the crystal water at 150 ℃ and becomes anhydrous (water absorption can be converted into bile alum), and decomposes into copper oxide and sulfur trioxide at 650 ℃. The aqueous copper sulfate solution exhibits a blue color due to the hydrated copper ion, This property is commonly used in the laboratory to test for the presence of water. In the real production life, commonly used in the refining of refined copper, mixed with slaked lime can be prepared pesticide Bordeaux mixture. Copper ions in copper sulfate can destroy the three-dimensional structure of protein, so that denaturation. Determination of protein concentration is often added to the protein base, then add copper sulfate solution, the solution will turn purple, this reaction is called the Biuret reaction. copper sulfate is a heavy metal salt, toxic, adult Lethal dose 0.9g/kg. If eating, should immediately eat a lot of milk, egg white and other protein-rich foods, or the use of EDTA calcium sodium detoxification. |

Prevention and Control of aquatic diseases | copper sulfate can prevent and control some fish diseases caused by algae, such as starch egg dinoflagellates and mud Moss (filamentous algae) Attachment disease, can be treated with copper sulfate concentration of 0.7ppm of the whole pool of treatment; Can also control the disease caused by protozoa, such as hidden flagellosis, ciliate disease, Chinese furunculosis, etc., were treated with a 0.7ppm mixture of copper sulfate and ferrous sulfate (5:2). But it does not mean that all diseases caused by algae and parasites can be treated with copper sulfate, such as small melon disease and egg follicle disease can not use copper sulfate, because copper sulfate can not kill small melon worm, on the contrary, it will make the small melon insects multiply; And the water quality of the pond with egg and algae disease is acidic, the use of copper sulfate will increase the acidity of the pool water, which is conducive to the growth of algae and aggravate the disease of fish. So remember not to blind application of copper sulfate, otherwise not only can not achieve the purpose of curing fish disease, sometimes will have a negative effect. Due to the accumulation of copper ions in the sediment in the water body, it is not conducive to the healthy development of aquaculture. Although it has not been listed as a ban on the use of drugs, it is not recommended to use it in breeding sites such as pollution-free bases. |

Use of copper sulfate | copper sulfate can be used to kill fungi. Combined with lime water to produce the mixture of the wax, used to control the lemon, grape and other crops on the fungus. Dilute solution is used for sterilization and removal of snails in aquariums. Since copper ions are toxic to fish, the dosage must be strictly controlled. Most fungi require only a very low concentration of copper sulfate to be killed. In addition, copper sulfate can also be used to control E. Coli. Sulfuric acid water solution has a strong bactericidal effect, agriculture is mainly used to control fruit trees, malt, potato, rice and other diseases, the effect is good, but the effect of rust, powdery mildew is poor. At the same time, the plant damage, while only on the copper ion tolerance of crops or fruit trees in the dormant period. Is a preventive fungicide, need to be used before the onset of the disease. It can also be used to remove algae in paddy fields and ponds. It is also a kind of trace element fertilizer, which can improve the stability of chlorophyll, prevent chlorophyll from being destroyed prematurely, promote the absorption of crops, lose green when the crops lack copper, and when the fruit tree lacks copper, the fruit is small and the pulp becomes hard, in severe cases, fruit trees die, and the crops sensitive to copper are cereal crops such as wheat, barley, oats, etc., which are mainly used for seed treatment and root dressing. |
analytical reagent | copper sulfate is required for several chemical analyses. It is used in the testing of reducing sugars in Fehling's reagent and in the reagent of ban. In the reaction, the divalent copper ions are reduced to a valently insoluble red precipitated cuprous oxide. Copper sulfate can also be used in Biuret reagents to detect proteins. Copper sulfate can be used to test for anemia. The blood sample is dripped into the copper sulfate solution. If the blood sample contains enough hemoglobin, the blood sample will rapidly sink; If the hemoglobin content is not enough, the blood sample will be suspended in the solution. The flame reaction of copper sulfate blue-green, much more blue than the color of barium ions. |
animal feed additive | copper sulfate is an important trace element additive for animal feed. Copper can promote bone marrow to produce red blood cells, which is one of the important hematopoietic elements. It is related to the formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin, and is related to the content of catalase, cytochrome C and cytochrome oxidase in tissues. It also catalyzes the complexation of iron and promotes the absorption of methionine (synergistic effect of about 10%). Adding copper sulfate in the diet, can effectively prevent and treat livestock and poultry anemia, limb weakness, poor bone growth, joint enlargement, osteoporosis, growth retardation, heart failure, gastrointestinal dysfunction and other symptoms. Promote the growth of livestock and aquatic animals, enhance disease resistance, improve feed utilization.
