Eye Contact Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention. Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel. If skin contact occurs: Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. Skin Contact Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). Seek medical attention in event of irritation. If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures. Inhalation Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay. IF SWALLOWED, REFER FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION, WHERE POSSIBLE, WITHOUT DELAY. For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.

If the services of a medical officer or medical doctor are readily available, the patient should be placed in his/her care and a copy of the SDS should be provided. Further action will be the responsibility of the medical specialist. If medical attention is not available on the worksite or surroundings send the patient to a hospital together with a copy of the SDS. Where medical attention is not immediately available or where the patient is more than 15 minutes from a hospital or unless instructed otherwise: INDUCE vomiting with fingers down the back of the throat, ONLY IF CONSCIOUS. Lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration. NOTE: Wear a protective glove when inducing vomiting by mechanical means. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed for copper intoxication: Unless extensive vomiting has occurred empty the stomach by lavage with water, milk, sodium bicarbonate solution or a 0.1% solution of potassium ferrocyanide (the resulting copper ferrocyanide is insoluble). Administer egg white and other demulcents. Maintain electrolyte and fluid balances. Morphine or meperidine (Demerol) may be necessary for control of pain. If symptoms persist or intensify (especially circulatory collapse or cerebral disturbances, try BAL intramuscularly or penicillamine in accordance with the supplier's recommendations. Treat shock vigorously with blood transfusions and perhaps vasopressor amines. If intravascular haemolysis becomes evident protect the kidneys by maintaining a diuresis with mannitol and perhaps by alkalinising the urine with sodium bicarbonate. It is unlikely that methylene blue would be effective against the occassional methaemoglobinemia and it might exacerbate the subsequent haemolytic episode.

Pourmortazavi*, Iraj Kohsari, Seiedeh S. Hajimirsadeghi Faculty of Material and Manufacturing Technologies, Malek Ashtar University of Technology, Tehran, Iran Received 22 June 2008; Accepted 18 October 2008 Abstract: The present study concerns the electrochemical synthesis of basic copper carbonate nanoparticles by oxidation of metallic copper on the anode in an aqueous bicarbonate solution. This simple and one-step preparation can be considered as green synthesis. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis indicates that average particle size of the product is in the range of about 70 nm. On the other hand, basic copper carbonate micro-powder has been prepared, by mixing solutions of copper(ΙΙ) sulphate and sodium bicarbonate. The SEM analysis showed that the size of particles prepared in the same way is in the range of about 1 µm. In another part of this study, the thermal decomposition of micro and nanoparticles of copper carbonate produced by various methods was studied in air using TG-DTA techniques. The results of thermal study show that the decomposition of both samples occurs in single step. Also, the TG-DTA analysis of the nanoparticles indicates that the main thermal degradation occurs in the temperature range of 245 - 315ºC. However, microparticles of Cu(OH)2•CuCO3 decomposed endothermally in the temperature range of 230 - 330ºC.

Courtney, Palmyra, NY Funding provided by the New York State 2012 Department of Environmental Conservation Types of Reaction: Copper Cycle, Teacher’s Guide 1 Types of Reactions: The Copper Cycle In this laboratory experiment, students will perform a series of reactions known as the copper cycle. The reaction series includes single replacement, double replacement, synthesis, and decomposition reactions. In each of two cycles, students will complete a series of reactions that results in the final product regenerating the original starting material. This experiment should take one 80-minute session to complete. Students will complete one of two cycles. As a class, both cycles can be completed in one lab period, and results shared between groups. Some substances require a bit of time to dissolve. Students should be encouraged to work on the questions and observations while waiting for reactions to complete. Two versions of the lab are available: Basic Level Instruction: this would be appropriate for a Regents chemistry class. Each pair of students completes one of the two cycles of reactions and then shares their findings with the rest of the class. The lab is a qualitative rather than a quantitative experience, focusing on reaction types. Advanced Level Instruction: For an advanced class (AP), the lab can be completed as a quantitative experiment.

    Edaqt`qx1/00Lhmdq`knesgdLnmsg9@ytqhsd Can any other mineral match the breathtaking beauty of intensely blue azurite? This month we focus on this colorful, hydrous copper carbonate from Arizona’s famed Morenci Mine. Our write-up explains azurite’s mineralogy, its use as both an ornamental stone and as an early ore of copper, and the history and technological development of one of the world’s greatest copper mines. OVERVIEW PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Chemistry: Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2 Basic Copper Carbonate (Copper Carbonate Hydroxide) Class: Carbonates Subclass: Carbonates with hydroxyl or halogen anions Group: Azurite Crystal System: Monoclinic Crystal Habits: Usually as prismatic crystals in tabular or bladed habits, often thin in one direction; crystal faces sometimes faintly wavy or striated; also occurs in earthy, massive, stalactitic and stalagmitic, radiating, fibrous, crusty, and botryoidal forms. Color: Azure blue; also light blue to dark blue. Luster: Vitreous, brilliant Transparency: Transparent and translucent to opaque Streak: Light blue Cleavage: Perfect-to-good in one direction, good in a second, fair in a third. Fracture: Conchoidal; brittle Hardness: Mohs 3.5-4.0 Specific Gravity: 3.7-3.8 Luminescence: None Refractive Index: 1.730-1.838 Distinctive Features and Tests: Azure-blue color, light-blue streak, and close association with malachite [basic copper carbonate, Cu2(CO3)(OH)2]. Azurite is softer than such blue minerals as lazulite [basic magnesium aluminum phosphate, MgAl2(PO4)2(OH)2] and lazurite [basic sodium calcium aluminum oxychlorosulfosilicate, (Na,Ca)8Si6Al6O24[(SO4),S,Cl,(OH)]2]. Can be confused with bright-blue linarite [basic lead copper sulfate, PbCu(SO4)(OH)2], but azurite effervesces in dilute hydrochloric acid, while linarite does not.

This paper examines the ability of a peroxide post-treatment to turn wood impregnated with micronized basic copper carbonate (CuCO Cu(OH) ) (MBCC) a stable brown color. MBCC-treated wood, with and 3· 2 without peroxide post-treatment, along with associated controls were evaluated for color change, erosion and black-stain fungal resistance after exposure to artificial photo-degradation. The impact of the peroxide treatment on copper leaching was assessed in a laboratory experiment, and the impact on copper reactivity was assessed by electron parametric resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Peroxide post-treatment of wood pressure impregnated with MBCC was shown to reduce color change by more than 50% compared to controls. Erosion due to photo-degradation and colonization by black-stain fungi were lower in samples treated with MBCC than in untreated controls and were relatively unaffected by peroxide post-treatment.
