CAS 1317-38-0: Copper oxide (CuO)

Copper oxide is a solid ionic compound that has the chemical formula CuO. It has been shown to have potent anti-inflammatory properties and can be used in pharmaceutical preparations to treat rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and gout. Copper oxide has a particle size of less than 10 microns with amines adsorbed on its surface. The adsorption of amines on the surface of copper oxide particles is an important factor for increasing the effectiveness of this material in biological applications. Copper oxide also provides protection against oxidative stress by scavenging free radicals. The activation energy for the reaction is high at 40 kcal/mol, which leads to a slow reaction rate. This reaction is kinetically controlled and the rate increases with increased temperature.

Copper(II) oxide

It is used as an adsorbent and absorbent, pigment, antifouling agent, wood preservative, optical glass polishing agent, welding flux for bronze materials, agricultural chemical and abrasive. It is used in the preparation of intermediates, oxidizing/reducing agents, surface treating agents and process regulators. It finds use in the manufacture of rayons, phosphors, and dry battery cells. It serves as a catalyst in certain chemical reactions of industrial importance. It is also employed in chemical sensors and superconducting materials. Hazardous materials like cyanides, dioxins and halogenated hydrocarbons can be disposed through oxidation with copper oxide.
