Two main parameters of cooling conditions and anti-solvent (ethanol) were significant in the size and shape of the copper sulfate crystals, the feedstock. After 10 minutes, repeat the process once, then two to three more times without adding crystals to flush the copper sulfate down to. It is strongly advised not to let the chemical enter into the environment. To do so, pour half a cup of copper sulfate crystals into your toilet but not your sink or shower, as the crystals will erode the pipes and cause leaks and flush it down the drain. Bioaccumulation of this chemical may occur along the food chain, for example in fish. The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. MAK: (respirable fraction): 0.01 mg/m 3 peak limitation category: II(2) pregnancy risk group: C Ingestion may cause effects on the liver. Repeated or prolonged inhalation of the aerosol may cause effects on the lungs. This may result in haemolytic anaemia, kidney impairment and liver impairment.Įvaporation at 20☌ is negligible a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered.Įffects of long-term or repeated exposure Ingestion could cause effects on the blood, kidneys and liver. The aerosol is irritating to the respiratory tract. The substance is severely irritating to the eyes and skin. It contains copper in its +2 oxidation state. The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion. Copper (II) sulfate, also known as cupric sulfate, copper sulfate, blue vitriol, or bluestone, is a chemical compound. Solubility in water, g/100ml at 20☌: 20.3 Attacks iron and zinc in the presence of water. Schroeder Telephone : 70 Copper Sulfate, Quarterly COPPER SULFATE IN THE THIRD QUARTER 1974 a Production of. This produces flammable/explosive gas (hydrogen - see ICSC 0001). With the financial assistance of the European Commission. Prepared by an international group of experts on behalf of ILO and WHO,
