High Purity Calcium Hydride CaH2 Powder CAS 7789-78-8, 99%

CaH2 Calcium Hydride Powder:
CaH2 Powder Calcium Hydride is the chemical name. CaH2 is a Gray/white crystal that can be blocky or crystallized. It's used for reducing agents, desiccants, chemical analysis, etc. Also known as colorless orthorhombic Crystal; Industrial products are either gray, orthorhombics, or powder. What is the type of bond in calcium hydride Ionic hydroides react violently with water when they remove hydrogen gas. Binary hydrides, which are composed of hydrogen and only one other element, have the general designation MH2 or MH3. Examples include sodium hydride(NaH), LiH2, calcium hydride(CaH2) or magnesium hydride(MgH2). It is sensitive to moisture. Calcium Hydroide is a leading Calciumhydride supplier . It doesn't react with nitrogen or chlorine when heated to normal temperatures. However, at high temperatures it will react with these gases and form calcium carbide, calcium chloride, and calcium oxide. The reaction can occur when the water is broken down and released hydrogen. This then reacts with ethanol and forms calcium glycolate. Please feel free to contact us at any time for the latest Calcium Hydride price. The metal oxides reduce more than sodium or lithium hydride.

This chemical compound can be used to dry products, but has its own disadvantages.
This compound is not soluble with any solvent that does not cause a violent reaction.
This powdered substance is incompatible with a wide range of solvents. This compound can cause explosive reactions when it reacts with chlorocarbons. Why is calcium hydrolith called Hydrolith? CaH2 hydrate is also known as Hydrolith. It is so called because its structure is salty. Saline hydrides are formed by alkali metals, alkaline Earth metals, and other metals.
This product cannot be used to deoxygenate solvents because it does not remove dissolved air.
Due to their similar looks, it is very difficult to differentiate between Calcium Hydride & Calcium hydroxide.

How does Calcium Hydride CaH2 Powder get made?
Following are the specific steps involved in making calcium hydride.
1. Place the iron plate with refined calcium that is 99.5% pure in the middle of the quartz tube. Install the rubber plugs for the water outlets and inlets at both ends. Then purify hydrogen gas using the inlet pipes. Finally, connect the water outlets to the fume-hood via a mineral oil bubbler. What occurs when calcium hydroide reacts to water? When Calcium Hydride (CaH2) is vigorously reacted with water it releases hydrogen gas. The activation energy for the hydrolysis of CaH2 is lower than other reactions. Electric furnaces are used to heat up the reaction tube. A large amount of purified hydrogen will be introduced into the reaction system to replace air at first, followed by heating with an electric oven. The reaction began at around 200degC. After heating to 250-300degC the hydrogen was added at a rate of 0.6ml/min. The reaction is completed in 2 hours. The calcium hydroide produced is an off white crystalline powder. Its purity is approximately 99%.
2. Alkaline metal and pure hydrogenation electrolytic can be used to produce alkaline metal hydride. CaH 2 can also be made using the same hydrogenation apparatus used to make alkali metallic hydride. For the purification of metallic calcium, the vacuum distillation process must be repeated. After that, the oxide layer is removed from the surface in an argon-filled operation box and chopped into as many small pieces as possible. When air is removed, the surface appears smooth and clean. A boat made of iron electrolytic is used to contain small metal calcium. The boat is then enclosed within a quartz tube. The quartz tube's heating section is covered with an electrolytic tube. This prevents the quartz tube being corroded from calcium vapor. Pure hydrogen is added, the calcium heated to 400 to 500degC, to begin the hydrogenation, and the temperature increased to 1000degC. Calcium hydride can be obtained after the reaction has been completed by cooling it to room temperatures. To check if the hydrogenation has completed, you can use a petroleum bubbler. Pause H2. Pause H2. If the liquid in the conduit is rising, then the hydrogenation process must still continue.

Application for Calcium Hydride Powder CaH2:
CaH2 powder is used for powder metallurgy. Zirconium oxide, niobium oxide, hafnium, and other metals can be reduced and the metal powder obtained. CaH2 powder can be used for dehydration and hydrogenation as well condensing organic compounds. For what is calcium hydroide used?
It is more stable than other reactive agents, such as sodium metals or sodium-potassium alloys. It is used widely as a desiccant in basic solvents, such as amines and Pyridine. It is used to dry alcohol.
Uses of Calcium Hydride
The compound has two major uses: the first is as a dehydratant, and secondly to produce hydrogen.
Calcium hydride used as desiccant
It is a mild dehydratant. This compound is less reactive than other desiccant compounds such as sodium-potassium and sodium metal. It reacts with the water in two ways:
CaH2 + 2 H2O-Ca(OH)2 + 2 H2
By filtration, decantation, or distillation you can separate the hydrolysis product of this reaction, which is Ca(OH2)2 and hydrogen (gas).
This compound can be used to desiccate many alkaline solvents, such as amines or pyridine. Sometimes used to dry solvents in advance of using more reactive desiccants.
Uses of calcium hydride in hydrogen production
As a hydrogen-source, it was sold under the brand name "Hydrolith". For a long period of time, it has been used to produce hydrogen. In many experiments, pure hydrogen is produced in the lab using this material.
This powdered compound has two other uses: it is a powerful reducer.

Condition of Storage for Calcium Hydride Powder CaH2:
