Calcium Peroxide is an inorganic compound that is widely used in the agriculture sector along with various other industries. It is used as a dough conditioner in the preparation of baked goods. It is also used for soil remediation purposes. Moreover, it also finds its applications in the oral care formulations and pretreatment of rice. It is often used as an oxygen source in the leaching of silver and gold ores to improve metal recovery. Furthermore, it is also successfully applied in the process of enhanced in-situ bioremediation to recover petroleum-contaminated soil and groundwater. It is also used as a bleaching agent in consumer products, such as toothpaste.
The market for calcium peroxide is majorly driven by its application in the ecological restoration industry for the process of soil treatment and in other environmental restoration programs, which boosts its market growth. Additionally, its usage as a dough conditioner in the manufacture of bakery products further increases its demand in the baked goods industry. Its applications in oral care formulations and metal recovery significantly increase its demand in the consumer goods and metal industries.
Additionally, several factors influence industrial calcium peroxide procurement, such as the availability and cost of production of calcium peroxide's feedstock (calcium hydroxide, etc.), calcium peroxide market prices, distribution (including trading and shipping), logistics, regulatory compliance, environmental regulations, safety standards, etc.
Raw Material for Calcium Peroxide Production
According to the Calcium Peroxide production plant project report, the major raw materials for Calcium Peroxide production include Calcium Chloride-Calcium Hydroxide-Hydrogen Peroxide.
Manufacturing Process of Calcium Peroxide
The extensive Calcium Peroxide production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:
- Production via Calcium Chloride Method: This method of producing calcium peroxide involves the reaction of calcium chloride solution and hydrogen peroxide to form calcium peroxide and hydrochloric acid as the byproduct. The solution is then filtered to obtain calcium peroxide as the final product. Moreover, this method does not guarantee the purity of the product.
- Production via Calcium Hydroxide Method: This method of production involves the reaction of calcium hydroxide suspension and hydrogen peroxide to produce calcium peroxide as the final product, along with water as a byproduct. This method produces a high-purity product.
Calcium peroxide (CaO) is an odorless, white to pale yellow compound that exist either in a form of powder or granules. It is also known as calcium dioxide. It is practically insoluble in water, but decomposes slowly to release oxygen and form calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)). The molecular weight of the compound is 72.077 g/mol. The density of calcium peroxide varies depending on its form and preparation methods, typically around 2.91 g/cm³. It is not very soluble in water.
Its boiling point is 353 °C and melting point of 223 °C. Under typical storage circumstances, calcium peroxide is fairly stable; however, moisture and high temperatures should be avoided as these might catalyze the material's breakdown. Overall, calcium peroxide is useful in a variety of industrial, environmental, and agricultural applications where controlled oxygen release and oxidation processes are advantageous due to its slow oxygen release capability and oxidizing qualities.
