  COPPER - LoveToKnow Article on COPPER   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Ores.The principal ores of copper are the oxides cuprite and melaconite, the carbonates malachite and chessylite, the basic chloride atacamite, the silicate chrysocolla, the suiphides chalcocite, chalcopyrite, erubescite and tetrahedrite.
Copper sulphide may be converted either into the sulphate, which is soluble in water; the oxide, soluble in sulphuric or hydrochloric acid; cupric chloride, soluble in water; or cuprous chloride, which is soluble in solutions of metallic chlorides.
Copper arsenate is similar to cupric phosphate, and the resemblance is to be observed in the naturally occurring copper arsenates, which are generally isomorphous with the corresponding phosphates.

 Copper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Copper was associated with the goddess Aphrodite/Venus in mythology and alchemy, owing to its lustrous beauty, its ancient use in producing mirrors, and its association with Cyprus, which was sacred to the goddess.
Copper is found in a variety of enzymes, including the copper centers of cytochrome c oxidase, the Cu-Zn containing enzyme superoxide dismutase, and is the central metal in the oxygen carrying pigment hemocyanin.
Copper doorknobs are used by hospitals to reduce the transfer of disease, and Legionnaire's Disease is supressed by copper tubing in air-conditioning systems.

Other important ores are chalcocite, or copper glance, a shiny lead-gray copper sulfide; bornite, a lustrous reddish-brown sulfide of copper and iron; cuprite, a red cuprous oxide ore; and malachite, a bright green carbonate ore. Azurite is a blue crystalline basic carbonate of copper found with other copper ores.
Copper oxide ores are usually treated by a different process, called leaching, in which the copper in the ore is dissolved in a leaching solution (usually dilute sulfuric acid); pure copper is recovered by electrolysis.
Copper tubing is used in plumbing, and, because of its high heat conductivity, in heat-exchanging devices such as refrigerator and air-conditioner coils.

The authors suggested the staining was attributed to copper adherence from the brass fume and its subsequent conversion to copper carbonate.

 Conservation of Cupreous Metals
The term 'cupreous' is used to designate all metals that consist of copper or alloys that are predominantly copper, such as bronze (an alloy of copper and tin) and brass (an alloy of copper, zinc, and often lead).
Copper objects in sea water are also converted to cuprous and cupric sulfide (Cu S and CuS) by the action of sulfate-reducing bacteria (Gettens 1964:555-556; North and MacLeod 1987:82).
The stable copper sulfide layer does not adversely affect the object after recovery from the sea as do copper chlorides; copper sulfides only discolor the copper, imparting an unnatural appearance to the metal, and are easily removed with commercial cleaning solvents, formic acid, or citric acid.

 Decomposition of copper carbonate - proving one of two equations.
Instead a "control" experiment could be set up, in which no copper carbonate is used, but an empty boiling tube is heated for the same length of time, and the volume of the gas collected due to expansion of the air measured.
It is important that all the 1.6g of copper carbonate has decomposed for the volumes of gas to accurately reflect which equation is taking place.
The mass of copper carbonate was chosen to be the maximum convenient mass which would give out less than 40cm3 of gas, enabling it to be collected in a gas burette with room for expansion.

 Early Civilizations and Copper
Besides areas in Western Asia, the use of copper was discovered in England where copper is found in Cornwall and Devon, western France, Italy, Spain, and central Europe in Saxony and Bohemia.

This patina is a copper carbonate or copper sulfate formed on the surface of the metal when hydrogen sulfide combines with oxygen or sulfur dioxide.
Copper is attacked by alkalis, ammonia, and various sulfate compounds that can combine with water to form sulfuric acid.
Copper is also attacked by rainwater that has become acidic through contact with moss, lichen, algae, and occasionally wood shingles.

 Ceramics Monthly - Simply Red
Strontium carbonate has recently been suggested as a nontoxic substitute for barium carbonate, so it was used in two of the five variations tested (see Recipes chart).
In the variations where barium carbonate and zinc oxide were eliminated, whiting (calcium carbonate) was increased to replace the lost fluxes.
Copper red glazes are prone to crazing because they generally have low levels of alumina and silica, so the higher levels of alumina and silica in Glaze 5 make it less susceptible to crazing.

 Joseph-Louis Proust   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
One hundred pounds of copper, dissolved in sulfuric or nitric acids and precipitated by the carbonates of soda or potash, invariably gives 180 pounds of green copper carbonate.
The color of this carbonate is as constant as its proportions when it is not at all mixed with hydrate: it is a brilliant apple green, the shade of tone of fine malachite.
To convert the carbonate to the fl oxide state in the wet way it is necessary to boil it a minute in caustic potash, which reduces it to 125 parts for 180 parts of carbonate.

 AZURITE (Hydrated Copper Carbonate)
The color is due to the presence of copper (a strong coloring agent), and the way the copper chemically combines with the carbonate groups (CO) and hydroxyls (OH).
It is still considered a minor ore of copper; mostly because it is found associated with other more valuable copper ores.
Associated Minerals are numerous and include malachite limonite, calcite, cerussite, quartz, chalcopyrite, native copper, cuprite, chrysocolla, aurichalcite, shattuckite, liroconite, connellite and other oxidized copper minerals.

The graph of the results shows that the mass of copper oxide does correspond to that of the copper carbonate.
The correlation between the mass of copper carbonate and the mass of copper oxide is very high (0.99).
However, it also shows that when copper carbonate is heated some of its mass is lost in the carbon dioxide.

 [Jewelry making - Article 00050] - Re: [Orchid] Using copper carbonate for fusing
No. Upon heating copper carbonate, carbon dioxide gas is driven off, leaving copper oxide As I understand the process of granulation, the organic glue, such as hide glue, will supply the carbon required to reduce the copper oxide to copper, and flux will help the area stay clean during the heating.
I tried it for fusing > silver to silver, Copper carbonate is insoluble in anything except acids and very strong alkalies.
When mixed with flux and organic glue it should provide the necessary copper upon heating strongly to lower the melting point at the interface of the granule and base, and thus 'fuse'.

 Re: Using Copper carbonate, How do you form copper sulphate crystals?
The other product would then have to be the salt of the metal whose carbonate you used, and the acid you used.
You can use this in your problem -- all you have to do is to work out which acid to use with your copper carbonate.
To get good crystals, you may need to exploit the difference in solubility of copper sulfate in hot and cold water, or to reduce the volume of liquid in the solution by boiling some of it away, or both.
