Informazioni sul prodotto
Copper nitrate is the inorganic compound with the formula Cu(NO)2. It is a blue-green crystalline solid that dissolves in water to give a dark blue solution. Copper nitrate can be produced by treating copper metal with nitric acid, or by treating copper(II) carbonate with nitric acid: CuCO3 + 2HNO3 → Cu(NO)2 + CO2 + H2O The most important use of copper nitrate is as a precursor to other copper compounds. It is also used to dissolve organic matter from wastewater and inhibit corrosion of iron and steel. Copper nitrate trihydrate (Cu(NO)(OH)) has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects against chronic pulmonary diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema by inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
