Copper sulphate can be used to kill fungi. It is mixed with lime water to form Bordeaux mixture. It is used as a fungicide to control fungi on crops such as lemon and grape, and to prevent fruit from decaying. Dilute solutions are used for sterilization in aquariums and for removing snails. Since copper ions are toxic to fish, the amount must be strictly controlled. Most fungi can be killed with very low concentrations of copper sulfate, and E. coli can also be controlled. In addition, the aquaculture industry is also used as the main raw material for trace element copper in feed additives.

It is an important trace element in drug feed.
Added into diet, it can effectively prevent and treat anemia, weak limbs, bone growth, joint swelling, osteoporosis, growth retardation, heart failure, gastrointestinal diseases and other symptoms.
Promote the growth of livestock and aquatic animals, enhance disease resistance, improve feed utilization.
Sheep can also improve wool production and improve the quality.
Pigs also have similar antibiotic effects.

Copper sulphate is the electrolyte when electrolytic refined copper. After several purification and filtration steps, electroplating grade copper sulfate can reach high purity. It will gradually lose crystal water when it is placed in the air for a long time and change into white.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What are the primary uses of agriculture-grade Copper Sulfate?
A1: Agriculture-grade copper sulfate is widely used to kill fungi and control diseases on crops like grapes and lemons by mixing it with lime water to create Bordeaux mixture. It is also used as a sterilizing agent in aquariums and as a trace element additive in animal feeds.
Q2: How does feed-grade Copper Sulfate benefit livestock and aquatic animals?
A2: Feed-grade copper sulfate acts as an essential trace element to prevent and treat anemia, weak limbs, growth retardation, joint swelling, osteoporosis, and gastrointestinal diseases. It also improves feed utilization and disease resistance. Additionally, it increases wool production and quality in sheep.
Q3: What role does Copper Sulfate play in the electroplating process?
A3: Electroplating-grade copper sulfate is used as the electrolyte during the refining process of electrolytic copper. It goes through rigorous purification steps to achieve the high purity levels necessary for precise electroplating work.
Q4: Why does Copper Sulfate sometimes turn white?
A4: Copper sulfate contains crystal water in its chemical structure. When exposed to the open air for an extended period, it gradually loses this crystal water (dehydrates), resulting in a color transition from blue to a white powder.
Q5: What packaging sizes and supply capacities are available?
A5: The standard packaging is 25kg per bag, which applies to both transport and storage. The overall production capacity reaches up to 1000 tons per month.
