Copper metal possesses a reddish lustrous appearance that turns green on exposure to moist
air. It has no odor, is malleable, and is insoluble in Water at ambient conditions. It is an essential
component of the natural ecosystem involving rocks, animals, plants, water, and volcanic
dust/gases. It can be easily machined, extruded, or drawn into shapes and forms two series of
salts, Cu(I) and Cu(II), with other compounds. On a commercial scale, 80% of its production
is obtained by electrolysis of low-grade or poor Sulfide ores, which are usually treated by
pyrometallurgical methods involving series of stages. Chemically pure or Laboratory reagents
are the two terms often used to describe Lab Grade chemicals. Lab Grade chemicals do not
meet any accepted quality or purity requirements such as the ACS Grade, the USP Grade, and
the FCC Grade, despite their acceptable purity. In the United States of America (USA), Lab
Alley is selling its high-quality Copper Metal Powder, Lab Grade online at laballey.com. Due
to its high purity, Copper Metal Powder, Lab Grade is highly recommended for labs and
commercial applications.
