Calcium Nitrate
Application | ||
|---|---|---|
Calcium Nitrate is mainly used as a nitrogen fertilizer in agriculture and is produced in granulated form. It is also used in wastewater pre-conditioning for odor emission prevention, and in set accelerating concrete admixtures. The dissolution of anhydrous calcium nitrate is highly endothermic. For this reason, calcium nitrate is sometimes used for regeneratable cold packs. Calcium Nitrate together with potassium and sodium nitrate is used to absorb and store energy in concentrated solar power plants. It can be used as a heat transfer fluid instead of thermal oil |

|---|---|---|
Calcium Nitrate is an inorganic compound. Its chemical formula is Ca(NO3)2. It is a colorless salt that absorbs moisture from the air and is commonly found as a tetrahydrate. Calcium Nitrate, also called (Norwegian saltpeter), was the first synthetic nitrogen fertilizer compound to be manufactured. Production began at Notodden, Norway in 1905. Most of the world’s calcium nitrate is now made in Porsgrunn, Norway. Calcium Nitrate is obtained by treating limestone with weak nitric acid. It is also formed during the absorption of nitrogen oxide by milk of lime. |
