In this application the successive water release from copper(II) sulphate pentahydrate (CuSO4 *5H2O) with increasing temperature is monitored by performing a temperature scan from 50 °C to 280 °C. The scan speed (°C/min) as well as sample size is optimized in order to get the best possible peak separation.
Background:
Crystallization water is the water that is incorporated when a crystallization occurs in aqueous solution. Since this water is part of the crystal it is also often referred to as crystal lattice water. This water can be bound with different strength and, therefore, be liberated from the crystal at different temperatures.
The scanning was monitored using a automated Titrator connected to the automated titration system InMotionPro.
The Application Includes:
