Copper Sulphate

Copper Sulphate – A Practical Chemical for Industry Use

Copper sulphate is a simple but useful chemical. Many industries use it, like farming, mining, and manufacturing. It’s easy to spot because of its bright blue colour. People use it to stop fungus, kill algae, and in many chemical processes. If you work with crops, treat water, or process metals, copper sulphate is a basic product that gets the job done.

You can buy it as granules, powder, or crystals. This makes it easy to handle for different jobs.

What is it?

The chemical name for copper sulphate is cupric sulphate (CuSO₄). Most people see it as a pentahydrate (CuSO₄·5H₂O), which means it has water in its structure and looks bright blue. It’s made by treating copper with hot sulphuric acid or from oxidising copper minerals. It dissolves well in water and is often called blue vitriol or bluestone.

Where Is It Used

In Australia, many industries rely on copper sulphate. Farmers use it to stop fungus and algae on crops and in water. It also goes into animal feed to fix copper shortages.

In mining, it helps separate minerals during flotation. In factories, it’s used for electroplating, treating leather, and dyeing fabrics. Water plants use it to control algae.
