Copper Nitrate Market: Overview
Copper nitrate with chemical formula Cu(NO3)2 (not to be confused with cuprous
nitrate with chemical formula CuNO3) is an inorganic compound that exists in blue
crystalline solid form. It is soluble in ethanol, ammonia, and water. Copper nitrate is
insoluble in ethyl acetate. It is synthesized by either direct reaction between copper
and nitric acid or dissolving copper carbonate in nitric acid.
Copper nitrate is employed in various applications. It is primarily used in synthesis
of copper oxide, which is further employed in many organic synthesis processes as
catalyst. When combined with acetic anhydride, copper nitrate works as an active
reagent for nitration of aromatic compounds. Mixing copper with nitric acid is one of
the synthesis methods of copper nitrate. Thus, it also acts as a source for nitric acid
by reversing the reaction by providing heat. Copper nitrate is heated until it
decomposes, and the fumes are then passed directly into water to generate nitric
acid.
Copper nitration solution is used as polishing agent for other metals. It is also used
as dye in the textile industry. It is also used in firework displays; however, its usage
in pyrotechnics is limited. Copper nitrate is also commonly employed in laboratories
in schools and colleges in the demonstration of chemical voltaic cell reactions.

Copper Nitrate Market Trends
Hydration of the anhydrous material or treatment of copper metal with an aqueous
solution of silver nitrate or concentrated nitric acid can lead to the formation of
hydrated copper nitrate. Copper metal when treated with N2O4 results in the
formation of anhydrous Cu(NO3)2. Copper nitrate occurs in the anhydrous form as
well as in the following five hydrated forms: monohydrate (Cu(NO3)2·H2O),
sesquihydrate
(Cu(NO3)2·1.5H2O),
hemipentahydrate
(Cu(NO3)2·2.5H2O),
trihydrate (Cu(NO3)2·3H2O), and hexahydrate (Cu(H2O)6](NO3)2). Among these,
trihydrate and hexahydrate are the common forms of hydrated copper nitrate.
