Thread: Filtering Copper Sulfate

Hello Everyone

I am making copper sulfate using the electrolysis method; I have a copper anode and cathode connected to a variable power supply in a sulfuric acid and water bath.
When done the electrolysis process, I boil the blue solution to solidify the copper sulfate.
Then I run what’s left through a few coffee filters and I am left with a blue paste. Then left to dry and after a few days noting happen still a wet paste.
What I would like it a dry blue powder of dry crystals.
I must be doing something wrong.

Is there a better way of doing this ??

Thanks in advance

Perhaps the humidity is too high in your room. Try the oven at a low temperature or use a vacuum source to remove the moisture.

I wonder if a old Food Dehydrator would work ????

Thanks
