Cuprous Chloride Market to See Incredible Growth During 2023
Cuprous
chloride is a precursor to the fungicide copper oxychloride. It is
majorly used agriculture. Cuprous chloride is a white solid that is
sparingly soluble in water. However, it is very soluble in
concentrated hydrochloric acid. It burns a blue or blue or green
flame. Cuprous chloride is used to control growth of plants. Other
uses include creating blue flame displays, photography,
electroplating baths, pigment for glass and ceramics, mordant in
dyeing and printing fabrics. Copper chloride is prepared commercially
by the action of chlorination of copper. It can also be generated by
treatment of the hydroxide, oxide, or copper carbonate with
hydrochloric acid. Electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride with
copper electrodes produces blue-green foam that can be collected and
converted to hydrate. Copper chloride occurs naturally as a very rare
mineral tolbachite and the dihydrate eriochalcite. Both are found
near fumaroles. More common are mixed oxyhydroxide-chlorides like
atacamite, arising among Cu ore beds oxidation zones in arid climate.

Report Overview @
Cuprous
chloride is anhydrous in nature and has a distorted cadmium iodide
structure. In this motif, the copper centers are octahedral. Most
copper compounds exhibit distortions from idealized octahedral
geometry due to the Jahn-Teller effect, which in this case describes
the localization of one d-electron into a molecular orbital that is
strongly antibonding with respect to a pair of chloride ligands.
The
surge in the usage of agrochemicals to protect the crops from insect
and pest infestation is expected to drive the cuprous chloride
market. The ever growing population coupled with diminishing arable
land necessitates the use of agrochemicals to prevent spoilage of the
food crops. The safety of farm output and the need to control the
pilferage and spoilage of farm produce is the primary driver for the
growth of cuprous chloride market. However, toxicity of cuprous
chloride to human beings, through dermal route is a cause of concern
for the cuprous chloride market. Cuprous chloride is classified as
toxicity category for primary eye irritation, for acute oral
toxicity, acute dermal allergies. Thus, the use of cuprous chloride
as a fungicide is highly regulated in Europe and the U.S.
Nonetheless, research and development in the field of biotechnology
will enable new bio based variants of cuprous chloride to be
introduced in the market; this is expected to open new areas of
opportunity for the market of cuprous chloride.

The
countries which use cuprous chloride are Brazil, Argentina, China and
Russia among others. The use of cuprous chloride is therefore
widespread in countries producing these crop plants, such as, Latin
America, China and the Indian sub continent. New and improved
variants of the cuprous chloride are introduced in the market from
time to time in order to overcome fungal growth.
Demand
for use cuprous chloride was highest in North America due to the
prevalence of a large genetically modified crops industry where use
cuprous chloride is used for plant treatment purposes. Asia-Pacific
is likely to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period
where emerging countries such as China and India dominate the cuprous
chloride industry due to the increasing awareness among the
population generated by government support.
Some
of the key players in the cuprous chloride market include Arkema,
Hangzhou Chemfar Ltd, SAVA Global and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc
and SAS Group among others. This market is highly fragmented and has
several small, medium and large players spread across all
geographies.
