High Purity Cuprous Oxide Cu2O pwder CAS 1317-39-1, 99%

Description of Cuprous Oxide：

Copper oxide can be described as an organic compound with the formula CuO. It is a black or brown-black solid, insoluble in water but soluble in acid, acetic acid, and ammonium chloride.

Copper oxide has high conductivity and high heat transfer and is widely used in electronics, chemical industry, ceramics, and other fields. It is a good electrical conductor and can be used to make electronic components such as wires and electrical contacts. In addition, copper oxide can be used in the manufacture of materials such as ceramics and glass, as well as as catalysts and pigments.

The physical properties of copper oxide are also very unique. Its crystal structure is a face-centered cubic structure with high symmetry and stability. With a melting point of 1326 ° C, it has high thermal stability and can be used at high temperatures. In addition, copper oxide is hygroscopic and easily absorbs moisture in the air, so it needs to be stored in a low relative humidity environment.

The chemical properties of copper oxide are relatively stable, and it is not easy to react with other substances. But at high temperatures, copper oxide can react with many substances, such as carbon, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and other reactions, to produce copper and carbon dioxide, water vapor, and so on. In addition, copper oxide can react with acid to form salts and water, such as sulfuric acid, to form copper sulfate and water.

Technical Parameters of Cuprous Oxide cu2O powder:

How does Cuprous Oxide cu2O Powder be made?

Roasting method: The roasting method is a traditional copper oxide production method, copper ore or copper waste and oxygen at a high-temperature roasting reaction to produce copper oxide. The roasting method can be subdivided into two kinds: rotary kiln roasting method and boiling roasting method. The rotary kiln roasting method has the advantages of simple operation, short roasting time, and energy saving, and is widely used in industrial production.

Acid leaching: Acid leaching is a method commonly used to treat low-grade copper oxide. The copper oxide is mixed with sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and other acidic chemical reagents, reacting at a certain temperature and pressure so that the copper oxide is dissolved in the acid so as to obtain copper sulfate solution or copper nitrate solution. Then, through crystallization, dehydration, and other processes, dry copper sulfate or copper nitrate products are obtained.

Ammonia leaching: Ammonia leaching is a method commonly used to treat low-grade copper oxide. Copper oxide is mixed with ammonia and reacts at a certain temperature and pressure to dissolve copper oxide in ammonia and get a copper sulfate ammonia solution. Then, through crystallization, dehydration, and other processes, the dry copper sulfate product is obtained.

Electrolysis: Electrolysis is a method for preparing high-purity copper oxide. Crude copper is the anode pure copper is the cathode. Through the direct current, the copper on the anode will gradually dissolve, and the copper on the cathode will gradually deposit. When the copper deposited on the cathode reaches a certain thickness, it is removed for heat treatment to obtain high-purity copper oxide.

Hydrogen reduction method: The hydrogen reduction method is a method of reducing copper oxide to metallic copper. Copper oxide is reduced to metallic copper by reacting with hydrogen at high temperatures. Metal copper can be further processed into various products, such as copper wire, copper plate, and so on.
