Feedstock for Copper Hydroxide

The production of copper Hydroxide involves a double displacement reaction that uses copper sulfate and sodium hydroxide as the first line of raw material. The changes in the prices and availability of these major feedstocks affect its manufacturing.

The procurement of copper sulfate is affected by the prices and availability of its raw materials like copper metal or copper Hydroxides (fluctuations in global copper prices and mining output directly impact sourcing and production costs of copper metal and copper material) and sulfuric acid (the availability and cost of its raw material like elemental sulfur impacts its sourcing). The fluctuations in its demand from downstream industries like agriculture, water treatment, mining and metallurgy, chemical manufacturing, textiles and leather processing, wood preservation, paints and coatings, electronics, batteries, etc., affect its availability. It is regulated to prevent environmental contamination, which requires compliance with guidelines on safe handling, usage limits, etc., that add to its procurement. Also, producers and users need to adhere to occupational safety and environmental standards set by agencies like the EPA and local authorities, which further affect their sourcing.

Sodium Hydroxide is another major feedstock used in the production of copper Hydroxide. The sourcing of sodium hydroxide is influenced by factors like the cost and availability of its raw materials, like salt and electricity (the fluctuations in energy prices and salt supply directly impact its production expenses). It requires specialized packaging, transportation, and storage because of its highly caustic and hazardous nature, which adds to logistics costs. The changes in demand from downstream industries like paper, chemicals, metals, textiles, water treatment, and food processing further affect its market price and availability.

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Copper Hydroxide manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Copper Hydroxide manufacturing.

• By Double Displacement Reaction: The feedstock for this process includes copper sulfate and sodium hydroxide.

The production of copper Hydroxide involves a double displacement reaction between copper sulfate and sodium hydroxide. In this process, the aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide is reacted with an aqueous solution of copper sulfate. This addition leads to a double displacement reaction that results in the precipitation of copper hydroxide. The product is separated and purified to get copper hydroxide as the final product.
 

Properties of Copper Hydroxide

Copper hydroxide has a molecular formula of Cu(OH)2 and a molecular weight of 97.56 g/mol. It is a blue or bluish-green crystalline solid with a fishy odor and a density of about 3.37 g/cm³. It has a melting point of around 80 degree Celsius, and it breaks down into copper oxide and water. It is insoluble in water, ethanol, and acetone but dissolves in acids, ammonium hydroxide, concentrated alkali, and potassium cyanide. It is a mild base that is slightly amphoteric in nature. It reacts with ammonia to form a deep blue tetrammine copper(II) complex and slowly reacts with carbon dioxide in moist air to form basic copper carbonate. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in various industrial and chemical applications.
