Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate

Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate is the pentahydrate form of copper sulphate, an inorganic copper-sulphur compound recognized by its vivid blue crystalline colour. It serves as a raw material base for a wide range of copper-derived compounds across industrial, agricultural, and manufacturing applications.

Molecular Formula - CuSO₄.5H₂O

Alternative Names - Cupric Sulfate, Copper Sulfite, Blue Vitriol, Bluestone

APPLICATIONS

• Used as a source of copper micronutrient for correcting copper deficiency in soil.
• Used as a trace mineral supplement in animal feed formulations.
• Used in electroplating and metal surface treatment processes.
• Used as a raw material in the manufacture of other copper compounds, pigments, and dyes.
• Used in water treatment applications, including algae control in ponds, reservoirs, and swimming pools.
• Used in leather tanning and wood preservation processes.
• Used as a laboratory reagent for analytical and educational applications.
• Used in mining and mineral processing, including ore flotation.
• Used in battery manufacturing and as a catalyst in certain industrial chemical reactions.

KEY PROPERTIES

• Copper and sulphur are essential trace elements involved in chlorophyll synthesis and plant metabolic processes.
• Highly soluble in water, making it suitable for solution-based industrial processes.
• Stable, crystalline form suitable for storage and bulk handling.

STORAGE
