• Uses: Calcium is largely used in the production of steel however it may also be applied to various health treatments involving the calcium-channel and anti-depressant activity. In addition it may be a necessary supplement in fracture healing of bones in mammals. Calcium is used as a deoxidizer for copper,steel, and beryllium in metallurgy; to hardenlead for bearing; and in making alloys. Reducing agent for production of less common metals; alloying agent to increase strength and corrosion resistance in lead, to improve mechanical and electrical properties in aluminum; refining agent to remove bismuth from lead. In metallurgy as scavenger to deoxidize, desulfurize and degas steel and cast iron; to control non-metallic inclusions in steel; to promote uniform microstructure in gray iron. As anode material in thermal batteries; as "getter" for oxygen and nitrogen.

Technology Process of Calcium

There total 110 articles about Calcium which guide to synthetic route it. The literature collected by LookChem mainly comes from the sharing of users and the free literature resources found by Internet computing technology. We keep the original model of the professional version of literature to make it easier and faster for users to retrieve and use. At the same time, we analyze and calculate the most feasible synthesis route with the highest yield for your reference as below:

synthetic route:

Reference yield: 94.0%

calcium carbide (75-20-7) → graphite + calcium (7440-70-2)

Guidance literature:

Reference yield:

aluminium (7429-90-5) + calcium carbonate → aluminum oxide (1333-84-2,1344-28-1) + calcium (7440-70-2)

Guidance literature:

In neat (no solvent); byproducts: C; heating equal amounts of carbonate and Al powder at red heat;; powdery product mixture obtained;;

Reference yield:

selenium oxychloride (7791-23-3) → disulfur dichloride (10025-67-9) + calcium (7440-70-2)
