Copper Sulfate Industrial Use CuSo4.5H2O Manufacturer, Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate for Feed Additive
1. Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate Introduction
Copper(II) sulphate, also known as copper sulfate , is the chemical compound with the chemical formula CuSO4. This salt exists as a series of compounds that differ in their degree of hydration. The anhydrous form is a pale green or gray-white powder, whereas the pentahydrate (CuSO4·5H2O), the most commonly encountered salt, is bright blue. Copper sulfate exothermically dissolves in water to give the aquo complex [Cu(H2O)6]2+, which has octahedral molecular geometry and is paramagnetic. Other names for copper(II) sulfate are "blue vitriol" and "bluestone".

3. Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate Application
3.1Agriculture: Copper sulfate pentahydrate is widely employed as a fungicide and pesticide in agriculture. It effectively controls fungal diseases such as downy mildew, powdery mildew, and leaf spot in crops and plants. It also helps in managing bacterial and fungal infections in fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants.
3.2 Algae Control: Copper sulfate pentahydrate is used as an algicide to control algae growth in ponds, lakes, and swimming pools. It inhibits the growth of algae by disrupting their cellular structures and metabolic processes.
3.3 Electroplating: Copper sulfate pentahydrate is utilized in electroplating processes. It serves as an electrolyte, providing a source of copper ions necessary for the deposition of a thin layer of copper onto metal surfaces. This electroplating technique enhances the appearance, durability, and corrosion resistance of various objects, including jewelry, decorative items, and electronic components.
3.4 Other Industrial Applications: Copper sulfate pentahydrate finds applications in various industrial processes. It acts as a catalyst in chemical reactions, particularly in organic synthesis. It is also used in the production of dyes, pigments, and inks, as well as in the manufacturing of copper-based chemicals and compounds.
4. Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate Used as Feed Additive
4.1. Copper sulfate pentahydrate can be used to prevent feed. It can effectively prevent feed mold and has the effect of promoting growth and reducing feed ratio.
4.2. A moderate amount of copper sulfate can constrict capillaries, separate the ulcerated intestinal mucosa and tissue, and achieve anti-inflammatory and astringent effects.
4.3. Copper sulfate is corrosive and can remove decaying tissue, promote the formation of new tissue, while also having a killing effect on fungi such as Aspergillus flavus
