Useful:

• Description: Copper (II) chloride dihydrate is used in the preparation of copper oxychloride and as a catalyst in many organic chlorination reactions such as vinyl chloride and 1,2-dichloroethane. Copper chloride dihydrate may be also used as catalyst to cleave tetrahydropyranyl (THP) ethers and t-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) ethers and to chemoselectively hydrolyze semicarbazones to carbonyl compounds. Solution of copper (II) chloride is used for plating on aluminum and for tinting germanium and tin.
• Uses: Copper(II) chloride is used as a mordant in dyeing and printing of fabrics; as an ingredient of isomerization and cracking catalysts; and as a desulfurizing and deodorizing agent in petroleum industry. Other important applications are in copper plating of aluminum; preparation of copper standard solutions; test for molybdenum; in tinting-baths for iron and tin; in pigments for ceramics and glasses; as a fixer and desensitizer reagent in photography; in mercury extraction from ores; in laundry-marking and invisible inks; and in manufacture of several copper salts. Supplement (trace mineral). Copper(II) chloride (CuCl2) or cupric chloride, is a brownish-yellow hygroscopic powder, or it may be formed as green deliquescent crystals. It is used in the dyeing and printing of textiles, as a disinfectant, as red pigment in the glass and ceramic industries, and for green-colored pyrotechnics, wood preservative, fungicide, deodorizer, water purification, feed additive, and electroplating baths. Copper(II) chloride dihydrate has been used as a positive control in dispersion of zebrafish embryo. It has also been used for the preparation of trace metals mixture.
