And what do you need CuSO4 for?

It is a stump remover, a de-mossing treatment for wood shingle roof maintenance, and a dandy weed killer, among other uses.  ;D

It also is easier to subject to electrolytic treatment and recover for profit on a solid Cu cathode.

Ok, and why is it so important to make it instead of buying it, considered that CuO is probably not cheaper than CuSO4?

Japan is in the copper-oxide ceramics for very strong regulation can be obtained easily, because copper sulfate is very difficult to obtain. The forum post was not for you. Sorry

But then you need to seperate CuSO4 from the complex [Cu(NH3)]4SO4 - how you go about that? Both are soluble in water if not mistaken.
