Overview:
Cuprous chloride is an important series of copper salt chemical products widely used in petrochemical, textile printing and dyeing, pigment, medicine, electroplating, organic synthesis and other industries.
Physical and chemical properties:
cuprous chloride, chemical formula CuCl. Molecular weight： 98.99. White crystal or cubic crystalline powder. The melting point is 430℃, the boiling point is 1366℃, the relative density is 4.1425, the refractive index is 1.93. Soluble in concentrated hydrochloric acid, concentrated ammonia and ether, slightly soluble in water (partial decomposition), insoluble in ethanol and acetone. Its solution is easily oxidized in air and is green or brown in color. Stable to air and light when dry; It turns green when there is a trace of moisture in the air and turns blue to brown when exposed to light. Boiling in hot water disproportionates to form cuprous oxide, copper, and copper chloride. Its hydrochloric acid solution can absorb carbon monoxide to produce cuprous chlorocarbonide.
Method:
It can be obtained by azeotrope copper chloride solution with clean surface fine copper wire or copper powder.
Uses:
1. Used as organic synthesis catalyst, decolorizing agent and desulfurizing agent in petroleum industry, denitrification agent of nitrocellulose, condensing agent in soap and oil production, etc.
2. In addition to the production of aniline dyes, phthalocyanine blue, phthalocyanine green and active emerald green pigments for copper salt complexation, it is also used as a shrinking agent, catalyst and reducing agent. Used as a catalyst in the organic synthesis industry, such as the production of acrylonitrile, etc., desulfurizer and decolorizer in the petroleum industry. Denitrification agent of nitrocellulose. Used as insecticide and preservative. Also used in metallurgy, electroplating, medicine. Make batteries. Used as an absorbent for oxygen and carbon monoxide in industrial gas analysis.
3. Used as organic synthesis catalyst, and used in pigment, anti-corrosion and other industries.
4. Used as an analytical reagent, catalyst, fungicide,
5. Used as a catalyst or reducing agent in organic synthesis such as silicone production. Petroleum industry used as degreasing agent, decolorizing agent, deodorizing agent. Oil industry used as coagulant. Dye industry such as the production of aniline dyes, phthalocyanine blue, phthalocyanine green, active green pigments play the role of copper salt complexation, as a reducing agent, catalyst. Used in analytical chemistry as an absorbent for carbon monoxide. In addition, it is also used in metallurgy, electroplating, medicine, pesticides, national defense and other fields.
6. Carbon monoxide absorption in gas analysis, organic reaction catalyst, oil deodorization, desulfurization agent. Anticorrosion, decolorization.
