Copper II Sulphate Production Cost Reports

Copper II Sulphate production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Copper II Sulphate production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Copper II Sulphate. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Copper II Sulphate (CuSO4) or Copper sulfate is a metal sulfate and an inorganic compound comprising sulfur and copper. It is an essential mineral found in foods, water, and the environment.

It can kill algae, bacteria, plants, roots, snails and fungi. It has the function of a fertiliser, sensitiser, and emetic. It is made by treating metallic copper with sulphuric acid that has been heated and concentrated or by treating copper oxides with dilute sulphuric acid.

Copper(II) sulfate has a molar mass of 159.609 g/mol (anhydrous) and 249.685 g/mol mole (pentahydrate), respectively. The anhydrous variety looks like a grey-white, powdery appearance with an orthorhombic crystal structure, while the pentahydrate one has a bright blue colour and crystals have triclinic structures. Its respective density is 3.6 grams per cubic centimetre (anhydrous) and 2.286 g.cm-3 (pentahydrate). Both sulfates have a tendency to decompose upon heating and don't have precise boiling points. It is extremely soluble in water with a respective solubility of 1.055 molal and 1.502 molal at 10°C and 30°C.

Copper(II) sulfate has various applications that drive its market growth. Basic chemistry is used as an educational tool and is used in various chemical tests. The compound's pentahydrate works like a fungicide to eliminate many fungi. It is used for testing blood samples for diseases like anaemia. As a dye fixative, it is used in the process of vegetable dyeing. It also finds application as a decorative as it adds colour to cement, ceramics, and other metals as well. Other applications furthering its market demand include colouring glass, hair dyes, baby formula milk ingredients, leather and textile processing, and as a green colourant in pyrotechnics.
