Calcium Metal Granule used in industrial applications

Calcium Metal Granule used in industrial applications

Calcium Metal Granules are small particles or granules of metallic calcium widely used in various industrial applications. Below is an overview of their features, production, and uses:

Features:

  1. Composition:High-purity calcium (typically ≥99%).Often alloyed with other elements depending on industrial requirements.
  2. Appearance:Silvery-white with metallic luster but can appear dull due to surface oxidation.
  3. Properties:Lightweight (Density ~1.55 g/cm³).High reactivity with water and oxygen, forming calcium hydroxide and calcium oxide.Low melting point (~842°C or 1548°F).
  4. Sizes:Available in granules ranging from 0.2mm to 2mm, and customized sizes.


Applications:

  1. Steel and Metallurgy:Deoxidizer: Removes oxygen impurities during steelmaking to improve product quality.Desulfurizer: Reduces sulfur in steel, enhancing its mechanical properties.Alloying Agent: Used in the production of certain steel grades and specialty alloys.
  2. Non-Ferrous Metal Production:Acts as a reducing agent for rare metals like uranium, thorium, and zirconium.Helps improve the purity and performance of non-ferrous alloys.
  3. Chemical Industry:Used in the synthesis of compounds like calcium hydride and calcium carbide.
  4. Battery and Energy Applications:Increasingly explored in advanced battery technologies and renewable energy storage.


Production:

Calcium granules are typically produced by melting pure calcium and atomizing it into small granules or crushing larger calcium blocks.


Safety Considerations:

  1. Highly reactive; handle with caution to avoid moisture or open-air exposure.
  2. Store in airtight, dry conditions to prevent oxidation or reactions.
