Application

Descriptions:

• Calcium nitrate is colorless transparent monoclinic crystal.

• Calcium nitrate is easily soluble in water, methanol and ethanol, and is deliquescent in the air.

• Calcium nitrate is also an oxidant, and it is combustible and explosive to organic substances and sulfur.

Uses:

• Calcium nitrate is widely used as soilless culture in agriculture, fertilizer with quick result for acid soil.

• Calcium nitrate is applied as flocculant of rubber emulsion, oil exploration well, sewage disposal and cement solidification accelerant.

• Calcium nitrate is used in producing fireworks and lampshade in light industry.

• Calcium nitrate is used in waste water pre-conditioning for odour emission prevention.

• Calcium nitrate is used in set accelerating concrete admixtures.

• Calcium nitrate together with Potassium and Sodium nitrate is used to absorb and store energy in the Concentrated Solar Power plants. It can be used as a heat transfer fluid instead of the thermal oil.
