Learn About Calcium Nitrate
Physical and Chemical Properties of Calcium Nitrate
Basic Appearance: Standard calcium nitrate appears as colorless transparent cubic crystals or white granular crystalline powder. The mainstream commercial product is tetrahydrate calcium nitrate, with clean crystal surface, high bulk density and no peculiar smell after refined crystallization, featuring excellent finished product appearance.
Solubility Characteristics: It possesses extremely high solubility in water, with solubility increasing significantly with temperature rise. It is slightly soluble in alcohol and insoluble in concentrated nitric acid, which forms the core theoretical basis for our selective crystallization and impurity separation technology.
Hygroscopicity & Stability: Calcium nitrate has outstanding hygroscopicity, far stronger than ordinary inorganic salts, and is highly prone to deliquesce and agglomerate in open humid environments. Its normal-temperature chemical properties are stable without spontaneous decomposition or oxidation reaction.
Thermal Decomposition Performance: Tetrahydrate calcium nitrate loses crystalline water gradually at 100℃ to form anhydrous calcium nitrate. Thermal decomposition occurs above 500℃, generating calcium oxide and nitrogen oxides, with a wide stable temperature range for industrial production.
Product Characteristics: The finished product features neutral pH value, good water solubility and no toxic and harmful residues. We can customize low-hygroscopicity, high-purity and high-density calcium nitrate products according to client's application scenarios.
