What’s copper sulphate monohydrate?

Copper sulphate monohydrate is a pure chemical obtained by dehydrating microcrystalline snow copper sulphate pentahydrate. It is a white free flowing powder that does not cake and there is no anti-caking agent added.

Due to the dehydration process, which removes four water molecules, we obtain a product with an higher concentration of copper in the same volume. The minimum concentration of copper is, in fact, about 40 % higher than in the penta-hydrated form.

What is copper sulphate monohydrate used for?

The main use of copper sulphate monohydrate is in agriculture as an active substance to produce, for example, fertilizers containing copper salts.

It is also highly valued in those industrial processes that require a high concentration of copper and do not like the presence of additives in the copper salt.

Industries include the mining industry or the galvanic industry for the cathode solutions of copper/zinc cells; in the manufacture of special materials used in the building industry for their anti-fungi and anti-mould characteristics brought about by the addition of small quantities of copper ions.
