Cupric Carbonate Basic CAS 12069-69-1 (Basic Copper Carbonate)
Product Introduction
Basic cupric carbonate (CAS 12069-69-1, formula Cu2(OH)2CO3) is a fine green to bluish-green powder corresponding to the mineral malachite. Zorui supplies 99% min basic copper carbonate with a copper content of 55-57%, making it a dense, economical carrier of copper for catalyst manufacturing, copper salt synthesis, pigments, pyrotechnics and animal feed premixes. The product is insoluble in water but dissolves readily in mineral acids and ammonium salt solutions.

Product Functions
- Copper Carrier: high-density source of copper for catalysts and copper salt manufacture.
- Catalyst Precursor: converts readily to active copper oxide and copper-based catalysts.
- Pigment Base: stable green colorant for ceramics, glass and artists' colors.
- Feed Trace Element: bioavailable copper source for mineral premixes (feed grade lots).
- Pyrotechnic Component: supplies green-blue color effects in flame compositions.
Application Areas
- Chemical Industry: manufacture of copper acetate, copper chloride, copper nitrate and copper oxide.
- Catalysts: copper-chromite and copper-zinc catalysts for hydrogenation and synthesis gas reactions.
- Agriculture & Feed: copper supplement in compound feed and fertilizer micronutrient blends.
- Pigments & Ceramics: green pigment for ceramic glazes, glass and coatings.
- Electroplating & Surface Treatment: copper source for plating bath preparation.
- Wood Protection: fungicidal component in preservative formulations.
Manufacturing Process
- Dissolution: copper sulfate or copper nitrate is dissolved in purified water.
- Precipitation: sodium carbonate/bicarbonate solution is added under controlled pH and temperature to precipitate basic copper carbonate.
- Washing: the precipitate is filtered and washed thoroughly to remove sulfate/sodium impurities.
- Drying: low-temperature drying preserves the carbonate structure and green color.
- Quality Control: copper content, assay, chloride, iron and particle size are verified per batch; COA issued.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between cupric carbonate and basic cupric carbonate?
A: The stable commercial form is the basic carbonate Cu2(OH)2CO3 (CAS 12069-69-1), often called cupric carbonate basic; the neutral salt is not a stable commercial product.
Q: What copper content can you guarantee?
A: We guarantee 55.0-57.0% copper, with the exact value printed on each lot's COA.
Q: Which grade should I choose for animal feed?
A: Feed-grade lots with controlled heavy metals are recommended; please specify your target market's feed regulation when ordering.
Q: How is it packaged?
A: Standard packing is 25kg woven bags with PE liner or 500kg jumbo bags; moisture-proof lining is included for sea freight.
Q: Can you supply a sample first?
A: Yes, 500g samples are available by express for dissolution and trial testing.
