| Introduction | cuprous oxide is a dark red cubic crystal or orange-yellow crystalline powder, toxic. Although it is stable in dry air, it is gradually oxidized to copper oxide in humid air. Insoluble in water and ethanol, soluble in dilute sulfuric acid disproportionation of copper sulfate and metal copper, soluble in nitric acid is oxidized to copper nitrate, it is dissolved in concentrated hydrochloric acid or ammonia water to form stable complex H3[CuCl4] or colorless ion [Cu(NH3)2], respectively. The latter is easily oxidized by air to a blue color of [Cu(NH3)4]2. |
| properties | cuprous oxide is a yellow or even red crystalline powder. The difference in color is caused by the size of the particles. The structure is a red copper type structure (cubic system) with a relative density of 6.04. The melting point was 1232 ° C. And the heat of formation was 166.67kJ/mol. Loss of oxygen at 1800 °c, insoluble in water and soluble in ammonia, and concentrated hydrochloric acid to produce white copper chloride crystal powder. cuprous oxide contains an excess of oxygen atoms, and holes appear in the crystal lattice of Cu, which plays a role of accepting electrons, and is a P-type semiconductor. The energy level is about 1.5eV, and the acceptor energy level is located at 0.3-0.5eV above the valence electron band. Furthermore, it is well known that the spectrum of the absorption excitation atom represents the configuration of the hydrogen atom. carbon dioxide is absorbed at room temperature, but is released when heated at 60-70 °c. Cuprous oxide can be obtained when copper oxide is reduced by hydrogen at about 150 ° C. If oxygen is present, the cuprous oxide can be returned to copper oxide by proper heating (200 ° C.), the trace amount of oxygen in the nitrogen gas can be removed, 2CuO H2 = Cu2O H2O 2Cu2O N2 = 4CuO N2. This product reacts with concentrated hydrochloric acid to generate white cuprous chloride crystalline powder. |
| preparation | an industrial method for preparing cuprous oxide is prepared by mixing and sealing calcination of precipitated copper powder and copper oxide. 1. Hydrazine reduction method: 3 to 5mL of a 20% aqueous hydrazine solution was poured into 50ml of a high-concentration aqueous copper acetate solution to reduce divalent copper ions. The solution initially turned green and produced nitrogen, which after a period of standing precipitated cuprous oxide in yellow to orange color. The precipitate was washed with water, ethanol and ether. Since an excessive amount of hydrazine can further reduce cuprous oxide to metallic copper, the amount of hydrazine used should not be excessive. 2. Glucose reduction synthesis of the film solution: 50g of copper sulfate pentahydrate and 75g of potassium sodium tartrate were respectively dissolved in 200ml of cold water, and the two were mixed when the solution was cooled to room temperature. Another 75g of sodium hydroxide was dissolved in 200ml of water to prepare an alkali solution. In the case where the mixed solution is stirred, the alkali solution is slowly added, and the temperature of the solution is carefully maintained so that the temperature of the solution does not rise and the solution becomes dark blue. This divalent copper salt solution was heated to boiling, and 10% glucose solution was added until the blue color disappeared to precipitate red cuprous oxide. Then it is put into 1L of cold water, and after standing for about 15min, the upper clear liquid is discarded; Water is added to stir, decanted, and filtered with a Buchner funnel; the precipitate was washed twice with 15ml of clear water, followed by three washes with ethanol and finally dried in an air bath. 3. Direct oxidation of metallic copper: copper is suspended in a vertical tubular electric furnace with platinum wire, and cuprous oxide is obtained by heating at 1000 ° C. For 24h in a nitrogen atmosphere containing 1%(volume fraction) of oxygen. Alternatively, the stoichiometric mixture of metallic copper and copper oxide is sealed in a vacuum tube and heated at 1000 ° C. For 5h to react to obtain cuprous oxide. |
| Use | cuprous oxide can be used as a colorant (red) in the manufacture of red glass, red enamel, ceramics, ship primer, crop fungicides, organic synthesis catalysts, rectifier materials and ship bottom coatings, etc., are also used in electroplating and organic synthesis catalysts. Cuprous oxide can be used as a reducing agent for the determination of nitrogen in azo compounds. used as ship bottom coating, pesticide bactericide, glaze medicine, used in cuprous oxide rectifier, photovoltaic cell, electroplating and production of copper salt, etc. used in the manufacture of Ship Bottom antifouling paint (used to kill low-grade marine animals), insecticide, as well as various copper salts, Analytical reagents, red glass. It is also used for rectifier plating in the electrical industry. It is also used as a colorant for ceramics and enamels. used as analytical reagent and bactericide when determining nitrogen in azo compounds, it is used as reducing agent, red glaze, electroplating, bactericide, red glass, Ship Bottom paint, plant seed sterilization and catalyst. |
| bactericide | cuprous oxide is a protective fungicide, which effectively inhibits the growth of mycelium, destroys its reproductive organs and prevents spreading. For seed treatment and foliar spraying. Seed dressing to control powdery mildew, leaf spot, Fusarium wilt, scab and rot disease, can be used for spinach, beet, tomato, pepper, pea, pumpkin, Bean and melon seed soaking, can also be sprayed, prevention and treatment of diseases of fruit trees. Can also be used for seed dressing, kill the slug and snail. |

One day later, the body temperature can return to normal, but still weak, Head Pain, dizziness, pulse number accelerated, lymphocytes increased. Chronic poisoning is manifested by the fact that the local skin, hair and conjunctiva of workers exposed to copper compounds sometimes become light yellow-green or black-green, with dark red or magenta edges on the gums. It has a stimulating effect on the skin, dust irritates the eyes, and causes corneal ulcers. Acute poisoning with a certain concentration of K4[Fe(CN)6] solution for gastric lavage, take milk and other measures. The maximum allowable concentration in air is 0.1 mg/m3.
