Copper Acetate, the molecular formula Cu(CH3COO)2·H2O, also known as copper acetate, is also called hydrated copper acetate because it contains one crystal water.
The copper acetate products found in the domestic and international chemical markets, the traditional industrial production method is copper sulfate and copper carbonate as raw materials, first reacted to form copper carbonate, and then acetic acid, converted to copper acetate. However, the conventional process has two insurmountable disadvantages. One is that when sodium carbonate is formed, sodium sulfate is simultaneously produced. To obtain high-purity copper carbonate, a large amount of hot water must be used, and multiple times of water washing is required to obtain sodium sulfate. Washing, the process is cumbersome, labor costs are high, and environmental pollution problems; second, the aqueous solution of copper acetate crystal obtained by the method is turbid and opaque, which is why the copper acetate crystal contains fine insoluble The copper carbonate particles in water should solve the problem that the water insoluble matter is seriously exceeded, and it needs to pass recrystallization. However, this will make the process more complicated, the acetic acid consumption is obviously increased, and the energy consumption is serious.
