Agricultural Grade
1. Preparation of Bordeaux Mixture (Inorganic Pesticide): Mix copper sulfate pentahydrate with quicklime (lime milk) in water in a certain proportion. This is an excellent protective fungicide, widely sprayed on crops such as grapes, apples, and citrus. It effectively controls grape downy mildew and apple anthracnose, and due to its unique mechanism, pathogens are extremely unlikely to develop resistance.
2. Algae Control in Aquaculture and Landscape Water Bodies: In fishponds, landscape lakes, or swimming pools, when excessive blooms of blue-green algae (algal blooms) cause oxygen depletion in fish, a suitable amount of very low concentration copper sulfate solution can be sprayed to quickly destroy the chloroplasts of algae and effectively kill them. Simultaneously, it can also control parasitic diseases in fish (such as dactylus disease and Lernaea disease).
3. Prevention and Treatment of Copper Deficiency in Fruit Trees: As a micronutrient fertilizer, it corrects chlorosis, tip burn, and poor fruit development caused by copper deficiency in plants.
Industrial Grade
1. PCB Circuit Boards and Acidic Bright Copper Plating: In modern electronics industries (such as PCB circuit board manufacturing for mobile phones and computers) and surface treatment of hardware and automotive parts, copper sulfate pentahydrate is the main salt in acidic copper plating baths. It provides pure copper ions, uniformly depositing a highly conductive, bright, and smooth metallic copper plating layer on the cathode surface.
2. Mineral Processing Industry: In non-ferrous metal beneficiation, it is a highly efficient flotation activator for sphalerite (zinc sulfide ore), altering the hydrophilicity of the mineral surface to achieve precise separation of metals such as copper, zinc, and lead.
3. Dye and Pigment Industry: Used in the manufacture of copper-containing monoazo dyes (such as Reactive Blue and Direct Blue), non-toxic antifouling paints for ship hulls (preventing shells, algae, and other marine organisms from adhering to the ship's hull), and coloring base materials for high-grade architectural coatings.
Feed Grade
1. Micronutrient Supplementation in Complete Livestock Feeds (High-Frequency Applications): Copper is an essential micronutrient for hemoglobin synthesis, bone development, hair pigment deposition, and various oxidative enzymes in animals.
2. Growth Promotion and Diarrhea Prevention in Piglets: Adding an appropriate amount of high-copper (such as feed-grade copper sulfate pentahydrate) to weaned piglet feed can significantly stimulate pepsin secretion, improve feed digestibility, and act as an antibiotic-like intestinal bactericidal and diarrhea-preventing agent. After adding high-copper, piglets often exhibit rosy skin, darker feces, and significantly accelerated growth (commonly known as "red skin and shiny hair").
Food Grade
High-End Formula Food Nutritional Fortification: Used in dairy products, infant formula, and high-nutrient solid beverages as a dietary supplement of the micronutrient copper.
