Copper(II) sulfate

Synonyms: Cupric sulfate, Copper sulfate, Blue vitriol, Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate, Copper monosulfate, Sulfuric acid copper(2+) salt

Copper(II) sulfate is an inorganic compound with the formula CuSO₄·5H₂O (pentahydrate) or CuSO₄ (anhydrous). The pentahydrate, commonly known as blue vitriol, is the most widely used form, appearing as bright blue crystals or powder. It is produced industrially by treating copper metal or copper oxides with sulfuric acid. LyvBio supplies high-purity Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate, meeting USP/BP/EP grade specifications.

With its high solubility and well-established antimicrobial and catalytic properties, Copper(II) sulfate serves as a versatile raw material across multiple industries. In agriculture, it is a key component in Bordeaux mixture and other fungicides. In animal nutrition, it is a source of copper in feed premixes. The electroplating and electronics sectors rely on it for copper plating and as an electrolyte. Additionally, it finds use in water treatment, wood preservation, and as a reagent in chemical synthesis.
