Copper(II) Sulfate Anhydrous, also known as Cupric Sulfate Anhydrous, (CAS: 7758-98-7) is used in hair dyes, coloring glass, processing of leather, textiles, and in pyrotechnics as a green colorant. Also used in battery manufacturing. Used as an antimicrobial and molluscicide. Copper(II) Sulfate Anhydrous is used in electroplating and in mining industries. It is used as a dehydrating agent for forming and manipulating acetal groups. In analytical chemistry, it is used in Fehling's solution and Benedict's solution to test for reducing sugars. Also, used to test protein in Biuret test. The most common application for copper sulfate was combining it with potassium bromide for making copper bromide bleach for intensification and toning. Copper(II) Sulfate is used as a wood preservative, a fungicide (in Bordeaux mixture), and in the dyeing and electroplating industries. Used as the electrolyte in electrolyse refined copper. As activator in non-ferrous metals flotation. Copper(II) Sulfate Anhydrous USP Powder can be used as a dietary ingredient and as a nutrient.
