Cupric Carbonate Basic, Copper Carbonate, Copper (II) Carbonate Basic CAS 12069-69-1

1. Basic Copper Carbonate Introduction

Copper carbonate powder(CuCO3.Cu(OH)2) is a fine, amorphous, peacock green power with a density of 3.85 and a melting point of 200ºC.It is insoluble in cold water and alcohol, but soluble in acid to form that correspond copper salt, and soluble in cyanide, ammonium salt and aqueous solution of alkali carbonates to form a copper complex. Boile in an alkali carbonate solution yields brown copper oxide, And decompose into black copper oxide at 2000ºC. Unstable in a hydrogen sulfide atmosphere. According to the ratio of CuO: CO2: H2O, basic copper carbonate exists in more than ten forms of compounds.
