Calcium Nitride CAS 12013-82-0

(Calcium Nitride CAS 12013-82-0)

Overview of Calcium Nitride

In most cases, Calcium Nitride is usually available in large volumes. Calcium Nitride is the main raw material for high-end phosphors. This phosphor is more stable, performs better, and has better effects at high temperatures and humidity. Lastly, calcium nitride can also be used as a chemical treatment agent, which is the key to determining the performance of water-based mud.

Calcium Nitride

Product Performance of Calcium Nitride Ca3N2 powder possesses the characteristics of high purity and uniform particle size distribution. Calcium Nitride hydrolyzes to give calcium hydroxide and release ammonia. It dissolves in dilute acids and decomposes in alcohol.

Technical Parameter of Calcium Nitride

Chemical Composition of Calcium Nitride

How is Calcium Nitride produced?When calcium burns in the air, it forms Ca3N2 with the oxide CaO. The distilled fibrous metallic calcium is heated to 450°C in a purified nitrogen stream, and then the metallic calcium is nitrided into calcium nitride after 3-4 hours. Depending on the preparation temperature, the obtained calcium nitride is black at 350°C, milky white at 350 to 1150°C, or golden yellow at 1150°C or higher. Identifying the calcium nitride formed is easy because it can react with moisture or water and produce calcium hydroxide and ammonia.

Application of Calcium Nitride

Calcium Nitride have been widely used in many fields, including but not limited to the following aspects:

Applications of Calcium Nitride

Calcium Nitride is a strong oxidizing agent that can be used to prepare gunpowder and explosives. In addition, it can also catalyze the synthesis of ammonia and hydrogen. In industry, nitrogen, and hydrogen react at high temperatures and pressure to produce ammonia, and calcium nitride is the catalyst for this reaction. Ammonia is an important industrial raw material widely used in manufacturing fertilizers, synthetic plastics, and other fields.

Calcium Nitride can also be used to prepare other nitride materials, Such as aluminum nitride and boron nitride. Aluminum nitride is an important ceramic material with excellent properties, widely used in electronics, optics, and aerospace. Boron nitride is a superhard material under high temperature and pressure, widely used in cutting and grinding fields.

Calcium Nitride can also prepare metallic calcium and calcium nitride ceramics. Calcium metal is an important alloy material with good corrosion resistance and conductivity. Calcium nitride ceramics are ceramic materials with high strength, hardness, and wear resistance, widely used in grinding, cutting, and bearings.

FAQ

Q1

How to preserve calcium nitride?

Answer: Due to its tendency to react with water, calcium nitride must be stored dry and waterproof. During storage, avoiding contact with moisture, oxygen, etc, is advisable. Storing it in a sealed container and a dry, cool, ventilated place is best. In addition, it is necessary to regularly check the sealing of storage containers to ensure that calcium nitride is not damp or contaminated by other factors.

Q2

What is the preparation method for calcium nitride?

Answer:There are two main methods for preparing calcium nitride: one is to prepare it by reacting metal calcium with nitrogen at high temperature; Another method is obtained through the substitution reaction between nitrides and calcium. Both methods require high temperature and high-pressure conditions, making the preparation process more difficult.

Q3

What are the physical and chemical properties of calcium nitride?

Answer:Calcium nitride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ca3N2, composed of calcium and nitrogen elements. It is a white or slightly yellowish solid with high hardness, melting point, and thermal stability. In addition, calcium nitride also has good conductivity and chemical stability, making it difficult to react with water.

Q4

Is calcium nitride harmful to the human body?

Answer:Calcium nitride does not directly affect the human body, but safety should be considered during preparation and processing. Due to the easy reaction of calcium nitride with water to release ammonia and hydrogen gas, avoiding contact with water and preparing and treating calcium nitride under an inert atmosphere is necessary. Meanwhile, when operating calcium nitride, appropriate personal protective measures should be taken, such as wearing protective glasses, gloves, and protective clothing.

Q5

What are the applications of calcium nitride?

Answer:Calcium nitride has various applications, including a strong oxidant, a catalyst for synthesizing ammonia and hydrogen gas, preparing other nitride materials, and preparing metal calcium and calcium nitride ceramics. In addition, calcium nitride can also be used to prepare high-purity nitrogen, making it widely used in industrial and scientific fields.
