If quantities are small mix a solution of copper sulphate in water with steel wool and leave for at least 24 hours. The liquid will turn black to form iron sulphate which is safe to flush down toilet (if any copper sulphate crystals remain after 48 hours add more steel wool and leave further). The remaining solid steel wool should be placed in plastic bag and sent to landfill.

∙ 12y agoyour best bet might be to get the copper to precipitate out by adding scrap iron. Once all the copper has plated out, filter the solution and neutralize with calcium carbonate. Filter the iron out, and test the liquid one more time with a test strip or electronic meter. Once you're metals are out of solution and your pH is suitable according to your local standards, you should be okay to dispose of it. You'll still have solids on your hands, but you might be able to drop it off with a recycler. Hope this helps.

What does a primary amine do to the color of copper sulfate solution?
It will darken the copper (II) sulfate solution.
How do you dispose of copper sulfate crystals?
It can be disposed of as regular trash.
If solid copper sulfate is mixed with water what is formed?
a copper sulfate solution it becomes copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate
How do you get copper from copper sulfate solution?
Copper can be obtained from copper sulfate solution by electroplating it onto an electrode or by adding a metal higher in the electromotive series than copper, such as iron, to the solution. The more active metal will dissolve by displacing copper in metallic form from the copper sulfate.
What will happen if you put an iron nail in a copper sulfate solution?
The iron will react with the copper sulfate, producing iron sulfate and elemental copper.
What is the pH of copper sulfate?
The pH of a copper sulfate solution depends on its concentration. Typically, a 1% solution of copper sulfate has a pH of around 3-4, making it acidic.
What does a primary amine do to the color of copper sulfate solution?
It will darken the copper (II) sulfate solution.
Why Hydrated copper sulfate crystals cannot be obtained from a solution by direct heating?
Heating the saturated solution of Copper sulfate will not form the hydrated copper sulfate crystals because only after cooling down the saturated solution of copper sulfate then only the crystals of the hydrated copper sulfate can be formed

575 milliliters of a copper sulfate solution contains 2 percent copper sulfate how many milliliters of the solution are copper sulfate?
You will have to assume that the 2 % is a volume fraction, then the volume of copper sulfate in the solution would be 11.5 milliliter(575 ml*(0.02). If it were a weight fraction, then you would have to have more information on the solution density.
What will happen if you put an iron nail in a copper sulfate solution?
The iron will react with the copper sulfate, producing iron sulfate and elemental copper.

Is copper sulfate a solution suspension colloid or pure substance?
Copper sulfate is a chemical compound.
