Feed Grade Copper sulfate, 99% Agricultural Grade CuSO4.5H2O, Industrial Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate for Electroplating
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". It is widely used in agricultural industry, electroplating industry, feed additive, etc.

3. Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate Application
3.1 Agriculture: Copper sulfate pentahydrate has a wide range of applications in the agricultural field. It can be used as an important trace element fertilizer to supplement copper in soil. Copper is one of the essential elements for plant growth and development, which can promote basic physiological processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, and nitrogen metabolism in plants. Therefore, moderate use of copper sulfate pentahydrate can increase crop yield and quality, prevent diseases caused by copper deficiency, such as copper deficiency syndrome.
3.2 Feed Additive: Copper sulfate pentahydrate also has important applications in animal husbandry. It can be used as a feed additive to supplement copper in animals. Copper is involved in the activation and catalysis of many enzymes in animals, and has important effects on the growth and development, immune function and reproduction of animals. Appropriate use of copper sulfate pentahydrate can prevent and treat copper deficiency in animals and improve the performance and health of animals.
3.3 Chemical industry: copper sulfate pentahydrate can be used as a catalyst, oxidant, reducing agent, etc. It is widely used in organic synthesis, electroplating, dye industry, and other fields. For example, copper sulfate is an important component in the preparation of inorganic pesticide Bordeaux mixture, which has bactericidal ability and can be used to control various crop diseases.
3.4 Water Treatment: Copper sulfate pentahydrate is also widely used in water treatment projects. Because of its strong sterilization ability, it can be used for the control of bacteria, algae and parasites in water bodies. Copper sulfate pentahydrate can effectively inhibit the growth of microorganisms in the water body, remove the muddy matter in the water body, and improve the sanitary index of water quality. Therefore, it is often used in the treatment of drinking water, swimming pool water and industrial circulating water.
4. The Role of Copper Sulfate in Agricultural Use
4.1 Copper sulfate pentahydrate can be used as a fungicide. Copper sulfate has a strong bactericidal effect and can be used to prevent and control diseases on various crops such as trees, malt, potatoes, rice, etc., such as rice smut, pepper anthracnose, corn smut, cucumber downy mildew, etc. It is also the main component of Bordeaux liquid and can be used to control fungi on crops such as lemons, grapes, and apples.
4.2 Copper sulfate pentahydrate can be used as an insecticide. Copper sulfate can be used to control pests, such as mixing with lime water to produce Bordeaux solution, which can be used to prevent various diseases and pests.
4.3 Copper sulfate pentahydrate can be used as a trace element fertilizer. Copper sulfate can improve the stability of chlorophyll, prevent premature chlorophyll damage caused by copper deficiency in crops, promote crop absorption of copper ions, and play an important role in copper sensitive crops such as cereal crops.
4.4 Copper sulfate pentahydrate can promote crop growth. Copper sulfate decomposes elements such as potassium and zinc in the soil, stimulating crop growth. Copper is also the main component of various enzymes, which can promote lignification of crop cell walls and enhance plant disease resistance. Protect the wound of the fruit tree. Applying a mixture of copper sulfate solution and mercury solution to fruit tree wounds can accelerate wound healing and prevent disease infection.
4.5 Copper sulfate pentahydrate can improve the stress resistance of crops. Copper sulfate can enhance the stress resistance of crops, making them better able to resist adverse environmental conditions.
