Product name: Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate
English alias:Blue Vitriol; Cupric Sulfate Pentahydrate.
CAS: 7758-99-8
Molecular formula: CuH10O9S
Appearance: Blue transparent crystal
Package: 25kg/bag
Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate is one of the most widely recognized and utilized copper salts. Its vivid blue color and crystalline form make it easily identifiable. This compound is highly soluble in water and serves as a fundamental source of copper ions—a vital micronutrient for plants and animals. It is indispensable in agriculture as a fungicide and pesticide, in animal feed as a nutritional supplement, and in various industrial processes ranging from mining to chemical synthesis. Its versatility and efficacy have established it as a critical chemical across multiple sectors.

1.Agriculture:Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate used as a fungicide and pesticide in Bordeaux and Burgundy mixtures to control fungal diseases on fruits, vegetables, and crops.
2.Animal Feed: Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate serves as an essential dietary copper supplement in animal feed to prevent copper deficiency and promote growth.
3.Water Treatment: Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate acts as an algicide and herbicide in water bodies and swimming pools to control algal growth.
4.Electroplating & Metallurgy: Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate utilized as an electrolyte in copper electroplating baths and in the froth flotation process for mineral concentration.
5.Chemical Synthesis: Functions as a catalyst in organic reactions and as a raw material for the manufacture of other copper compounds.
6.Education & Research: Commonly used in crystal growth experiments and chemistry demonstrations.
Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate is toxic if swallowed and can cause serious eye irritation. It is harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. Personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, safety goggles, and dust masks, must be worn during handling to avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin or eyes. It should not be used in applications that may lead to excessive environmental accumulation.
