dark green crystalline powder. It is considered to be a combination of copper chloride and copper hydroxide. It is insoluble in water and easily soluble in weak acid solution with pH <2.0. Very stable in air. Water absorption is very low, not easy to caking. The surface of the solid particles of basic copper chloride is neutral, and it is not easy to react with other substances.
The copper chloride solution is neutralized and crystallized with aqueous ammonia and hydrochloric acid to form basic copper chloride.
basic copper chloride is a trace mineral source of copper used in feed, and its copper content is as high as 58%. This basic salt is insoluble in water but dissolves very quickly in the intestinal tract of animals. Compared with other copper sources, the utilization rate of basic copper chloride is very high, and it can dissolve quickly in the digestive tract. Stable and low hygroscopicity, does not accelerate the oxidation of vitamins and antibiotics. The biological effectiveness and biological safety of basic copper chloride was significantly higher than that of copper sulfate, and the use of copper than copper sulfate reduced by 25% ~ 30%, can completely replace copper sulfate. Not only reduce the cost of feed, but also can greatly reduce the pollution of copper excretion to the environment, basic copper chloride is a good animal copper source.
