| What is calcium oxide? | calcium oxide is an inorganic compound, its chemical formula is CaO, common name lime. The physical properties are white powder on the surface, and those that are impure are gray-white. When impurities are contained, they are light yellow or gray, and have hygroscopicity. Calcium oxide is an alkaline oxide that is sensitive to moisture. Easy to absorb carbon dioxide and moisture from the air. It reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) and generates a large amount of heat, which is corrosive. calcium oxide is also an inorganic water scavenger that reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide and also absorbs carbon dioxide. Calcium oxide powder can be added to some special sealants, water-Curable Adhesives and other systems. Calcium oxide can be used as an analytical reagent, gas analysis as a carbon dioxide absorbent, spectral analysis reagent, high purity reagent for semiconductor production in the epitaxial, diffusion process, laboratory ammonia drying and alcohol dehydration. |
| Application | quicklime is usually calcined from limestone, which has been used for a long time to make desiccant due to its excellent water absorption, the main component of quicklime desiccant is calcium oxide, and the drying principle is that calcium oxide absorbs water to generate calcium hydroxide, which is widely used in food, clothing and other industries because of its low cost and high cost performance. quicklime is usually calcined from limestone.

| identification test | take 1g of sample, shake with 20ml of water, add acetic acid test solution (TS-1) to dissolve the sample. This solution was positive for calcium test (IT-10). |
| content analysis | approximately 1g of sample was burned to constant weight (accurately weighed) and dissolved in 20ml of dilute hydrochloric acid solution (TS-117). After cooling, dilute to 500.0 with water and mix well. 50.0ml of this solution was placed in a suitable container and 50ml of water was added. Add about 30ml of 0.05mol/L disodium EDTA through a 50ml Burette with stirring (preferably with a magnetic stirrer), then add 15ml of sodium hydroxide solution (TS-224) and 300mg of hydroxynaphthol blue indicator, titration was continued to the blue end point. EDTA corresponds to calcium oxide 2.804mg per Ml of 0.05mol/L. |
| toxicity | ADI is not restrictive (FAO/WHO,2001). GRAS(FDA,§ 18.5210;§ 184.12, Lo, 2000). see calcium oxide. can stimulate the mucous membrane, cause sneezing, especially can make fat saponification, by the skin to absorb water, dissolve protein, irritation and corrosion of tissue. Strong effect on ocular mucosa. It can cause superficial ulcers in the oral and nasal mucosa, and sometimes perforation of the diaphragm in the nose and deep breathing tract. Pneumonia may be caused by inhalation of lime dust. If the dust is inhaled, the water vapor can be inhaled (some citric acid crystals can be added to the water in advance), and the mustard paste is applied to the thorax. If falling eyes can open eyes, immediately rinse with running water for 10~30 min and then rinse with 5% ammonium chloride solution. Mineral or vegetable oils containing 5% citric acid, tartaric acid, acetic acid, or salt solution lotions may be used to remove lime residues from the skin when it is burned. The maximum allowable concentration is 5 mg/m3 in the United States. Attention should be paid to the protection of respiratory organs, the use of dust-proof fiber made of work clothes, gloves, sealed dust-proof glasses. Apply oily ointment. Clean after work. In the preparation and use of dust to prevent inhalation. |

| Use | used in the manufacture of calcium carbide, soda ash, bleaching powder, etc., used as building materials, refractory materials, desiccant, soil conditioner and calcium fertilizer used as analytical reagent and flux in the manufacture of fluorescent powder used in the manufacture of calcium carbide, soda ash, bleaching powder, etc, waste water purification and other used as building materials, metallurgical flux, is the main raw material for the preparation of calcium hydroxide and various calcium compounds, but also cheap alkali in the chemical industry. Widely used in pesticide, paper, food, petrochemical, leather, wastewater purification and so on. It can also be used for the drying of ammonia in the laboratory and the removal of l water from alcohols. for drug carriers. analysis reagent, calcium oxide used in iron and steel, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, non-ferrous metals, fertilizer, leather, calcium hydroxide, laboratory ammonia drying, carbon dioxide absorbent, alcohol dehydration. |
| production method | calcium carbonate calcination method calcium carbonate is reacted with hydrochloric acid to form calcium chloride, and then ammonia water is added for neutralization, the precipitate is allowed to stand and filtered, and then sodium bicarbonate is added to react to form calcium carbonate precipitate, which is dehydrated by centrifugal separation, dried, calcined, pulverized and screened to obtain a medicinal calcium oxide product. Its CaCO3 + 2HCl → CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O2 CaCl2 +2NH3? H2O → Ca(OH)2+2 NH4ClCa(OH)2 + NaHCO3 → CaCO3 + NaOH + H2O oco3 [Δ] → CaO + CO2 limestone calcination method the limestone was crushed to 150, and remove the fine slag of 30~50mm or less. Anthracite or Coke particle size is required to be less than 50 mm, which contains low melting point ash should not be too much, the addition of anthracite or Coke is 7.5% ~ 8.5% (weight) of limestone. The screened limestone and fuel are added into the kiln from the top of the kiln regularly and quantitatively, calcined at 900~1200 ℃, and then cooled to obtain a finished product. In the calcination process by-product carbon dioxide. CaCO3 [Δ] → CaO + CO2 ↑ |
