1. Molecular formula: CaO

2. Molecular weight: 56.077

3. Physical and chemical properties:

Calcium oxide is an inorganic compound commonly known as quicklime. The physical properties are white powder on the surface, off-white when impure, light yellow or gray when containing impurities. Calcium oxide is an alkaline oxide, sensitive to moisture and hygroscopic, and can easily absorb carbon dioxide and moisture from the air. It reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide and generates a lot of heat, which is corrosive.
 

4. Characteristics and uses:

Calcium oxide is widely used in industrial production and daily life. It is used as a slag alkalinizer in the steelmaking process. It reacts with iron oxide at high temperatures to produce calcite, which can absorb non-metallic impurities and form easy-to-handle slag, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of steelmaking; it is used for manufacturing cement. One of the key raw materials, calcium oxide reacts with materials containing silica at high temperature to form calcium silicate, which then reacts with water to form hydrated calcium silicate, and finally forms cement stone; provided in the production process of aerated bricks The calcium component produces crystalline or colloidal calcium silicate hydrate and calcium aluminosilicate products, giving the product a certain strength of other properties; in agriculture, it is used for disinfection, sterilization, water purification, soil improvement, etc.
