Copper Carbonate Uses: Ceramics, Feed, Wood Treatment and Chemicals
Copper carbonate is used mainly as a blue and green colourant in ceramics and glass, a copper source in animal feed, an ingredient in wood preservatives, and a starting material for copper salts and catalysts. The material sold under this name is basic copper carbonate, CuCO3·Cu(OH)2, which carries about 57% copper and dissolves in acids. […]
Cuprous Chloride & Ammonium Molybdate in CuPc Pigments
Most copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) pigment is made by heating phthalic anhydride, urea, a copper source, and a small amount of catalyst together in a solvent. Cuprous chloride usually supplies the copper. Ammonium molybdate drives the reaction that closes the phthalocyanine ring. Together, they turn a handful of inexpensive raw materials into the blue and green […]
