CALCIUM SULFIDE - Introduction
Sulfide of alkaline earth metal calcium, white at room temperature with the smell of rotten eggs, impure and often yellow. It has a sodium chloride-type crystal structure, each S2-is coordinated with six Ca2 octahedrons, and each Ca2 + is also coordinated with six S2-s in an octahedral structure. Those containing impurities are light yellow. Soluble in water or hydrolyze in case of moisture. Slightly soluble in alcohol. It decomposes in humid air and is oxidized in dry air. H2S is released due to rapid decomposition of acid. Reacts with chlorine and iodine to precipitate elemental sulfur.

| Preparation | The laboratory is prepared by heating pure calcium carbonate to 1000°C in a stream of hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen. Coarse calcium sulfide is made by reducing calcium sulfate powder with coke or wood chips at high temperature. |
| sulfide depilating agent | chemical depilating agent is a depilating agent that can soften hair and lower hair strength, and can wipe off or wash off hair within 2~6min. Because the composition of the hair is similar to that of the skin, chemical hair removal agents will inevitably damage the skin, so the hair removal agent is listed as a special purpose cosmetic. Sulfide hair removal agent is the earliest hair removal agent used. The main disadvantage of this type of depilatory agent is that it has an unpleasant smell, sulfide is easy to oxidize, forming yellow polysulfide, which loses activity and increases odor, and sulfide is easy to produce hydrogen sulfide, which is toxic. However, because sulfide hair removal agents are more effective and lower in cost, they are still used in history. In recent years, it has begun to be replaced by thioglycolate. The most commonly used sulfides include sulfides and sulfides of sodium, potassium, calcium, strontium, barium. Alkali metal sulfides are highly alkaline and easy to hydrolyze, and are rarely used nowadays. Alkaline earth metal sulfides are also hydrolyzed to form hydroxides. Calcium hydroxide is slightly soluble in water, barium hydroxide is easily soluble in water. Calcium sulfide has the lowest alkalinity, strontium sulfide is in the middle, and barium sulfide has the strongest alkalinity. Barium sulfide hair removal is more effective than calcium sulfide. Due to the toxicity of barium sulfide, some countries (such as the United Kingdom) have banned it. At present, the most commonly used sulfide is strontium sulfide. Strontium sulfide is a milder depilating agent, but a higher concentration can achieve better results. If the formula is suitable, it is also very effective, and it will take effect within 3~5min after application. |
