Description

Calcium CAS NO 14452-75-6 refers to the elemental form of calcium, a reactive alkaline earth metal essential for numerous industrial and metallurgical processes. Its high reactivity, particularly as a reducing agent, makes it a critical material for producing and refining other metals, such as thorium and uranium. This product is primarily utilized by the metallurgical, chemical synthesis, and alloy manufacturing industries.

Application

• Metallurgical Reducing Agent: Used in the production and purification of metals like thorium, uranium, and zirconium through thermal reduction processes.
• Alloy Manufacturing: Serves as an alloying element in aluminum, lead, and copper alloys to enhance strength and modify properties.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a powerful reducing agent in organic synthesis and in the preparation of other calcium compounds.
• Desulfurization: Employed in the steel industry to remove sulfur and oxygen from molten iron and steel.
• Battery Anodes: Investigated for use in advanced battery technologies, such as calcium-ion batteries, due to its high energy density potential.
• Getter in Vacuum Tubes: Used to absorb residual gases (like oxygen and nitrogen) in vacuum systems and electronic components.
