Copper sulfate (CuSO4) is a kind of inorganic compound widely used in industrial production and scientific research. The compound is commonly found in the form of copper sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4·5H2O), a blue crystal commonly known as blue alum [1]. This substance loses its crystal water under dry conditions and becomes white or off-white powdered anhydrous copper sulfate [2]. The preparation of copper sulfate is usually achieved by the reaction of concentrated sulfuric acid and copper, and can also be obtained by treating a mixture of copper-bearing ores and sulfuric acid.
1.Used as fungicide and cupric pesticides(Bordeaux mixture) in agricultural field,can be used to kill the fungi,prevention and control of fruit trees diseases.
2.Widely used in the prevention and treatment of fish diseases in aquaculture.Can also be used for algae removal in paddy fields and pond.
3.Important trace elements fertilizer in agriculture and important trace element for animal feed additives.
4.Used as the electrolyte in electrolyse refined copper.
5.As activator in non-ferrous metals flotation.
1.Copper sulfate is highly soluble and can quickly dissolve in many materials. Copper sulfate aqueous solution has a strong bactericidal effect and is mainly used in agriculture to control various diseases of crops such as fruit trees, malt, potatoes, and rice. It is a good fungicide, herbicide, and insecticide. If sulfuric acid is sprayed on grapes, it can reduce the impact of fungi on the grapes. Copper sulfate is used in the prevention and treatment of fish diseases to kill some parasites such as ciliates, bell worms, and wheelworms.
2.Mainly used in the chemical industry to manufacture copper salts.
3.Mainly used in the dye industry to produce anti fouling paint for ship bottoms.
4.Used as a dyeing agent in the printing and dyeing industry.
5.Used as an astringent in the pharmaceutical industry.
6.Used as a catalyst for synthesizing spices and dye intermediates in the organic industry.
7.Copper sulfate is also widely used in the fireworks manufacturing industry and can be used to produce blue fireworks.
