Description |
Copper sulfate pentahydrate finds diverse applications across agriculture, industry, and various processes due to its fungicidal properties and other chemical characteristics. |
Chemical Properties |
Decomposes at higher temperatures. The pentahydrate form is known as "blue vitriol." |
Uses |
Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate, a blue crystalline compound, serves multiple purposes across diverse industries. As a systemic fungicide, it effectively controls diseases like Pythium Damping-Off, Root Rot, and Downy Mildew in agronomic crops. Additionally, it acts as an antidote for phosphorus poisoning and is utilized in the prevention and treatment of copper and sulfur deficiencies in plants. Widely employed in the agricultural sector, it enhances chlorophyll synthesis and promotes photosynthesis. Beyond agriculture, its applications extend to industrial processes, including electroplating and catalytic reactions, making it valuable in mining and the textile industry. Its potency as an algae preventative, combined with its role in timber preservation, further underscores its versatility. The compound's toxic nature necessitates careful handling and adherence to safety measures in its various applications. |
Air & Water Reactions |
Slowly effloresces in air. Water soluble. |

Agglomeration of copper sulfate pentahydrate crystals was observed in continuous, semi-batch and batch crystallizers. The supersaturations prevailing at the time of nucleation and subsequent growth were found to be the most important process variables in determining the percentage of resulting particles that were agglomerates.
The aim of this paper is to give report about the growth of copper sulfate (CSP) single crystals with different molarities by slow evaporation method.
