| Physical and Chemical Properties | Copper chloride chemical formula for CuCl2, yellow-brown powder, the relative density of 3.386 (25 ° C), the melting point of 620 ° C, 0 ° C solubility of 70.6, but also soluble in ethanol and acetone. It is easy to absorb moisture from the air and change into blue-green dihydrate CuCl2 · 2H2O. CuCl2 · 2H2O is a green orthorhombic crystal with deliquescence and a relative density of 2.38, chlorine and water can be passed through the contact column containing metallic copper to prepare, or copper carbonate (actually basic copper carbonate) and hydrochloric acid. Anhydrous copper chloride can also be produced from this hydrate by losing water at 110 ° C. And heating to 140 to 150 ° C. In a hydrogen chloride gas stream. Anhydrous copper chloride is further heated to 993 deg C, can be decomposed into white copper chloride and chlorine. X-ray studies have shown that copper chloride is a covalent compound, which is a planar chain. The concentrated aqueous solution of copper chloride is yellow-green, green in concentrated solution and blue in dilute solution. The yellow is due to the presence of [CuCl]2-coordination ion, the blue is due to the presence of [Cu(H2O)4]2 coordination ions, and the coexistence of the two is green. Copper chloride is used as a catalyst for many organic reactions (such as the chlorination of hydrocarbons), as a decolorizing and desulfurizing agent for petroleum products, as well as wood preservatives, mordant, disinfectant, feed additives and glass in fabric printing and dyeing, pigments of ceramics. (Nan Xiao) |
| Use | It is used as mordant, oxidant, wood preservative, food additive, disinfectant, etc., and also used for deodorization and desulfurization of petroleum fractions, metal refining, photography, etc. |

Copper chloride anhydrous - Preparation Method
Open Data Verified Data
A certain amount of copper oxide was gradually added to the reactor containing hydrochloric acid, and the acidolysis reaction was carried out with stirring to produce copper chloride. When the pH value of the reaction solution is 2 and the concentration is 35~37 'Be, the reaction is completed. After being clarified by standing, sodium hypochlorite is added to the clear liquid to make
Divalent iron is oxidized to ferric iron and removed by hydrolytic filtration. The filtrate was concentrated by evaporation, cooled to crystallize, centrifuged, and dried at 60-70 °c to obtain a finished copper chloride product.
