- The metal industry uses large quantities of copper sulphate as an electrolyte in copper refining, for copper coating steel wire prior to wire drawing and in various copper plating processes
.
- The mining industry employs it as an activator in the concentration by froth flotation of lead, zinc, cobalt and gold ores
.
- The paint industry uses it in anti-fouling paints and it plays a part in the colouring of glass.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since copper sulphate also known as blue stone, blue vitriol is more commonly found in a pentahydrated cupric sulphate due to its stability. In fact it is often the starting raw material for the production of other varied copper-based salts. Henceforth, you will find three applications.
