Optional: put the lump of calcium oxide into the boiling tube containing the ammonium chloride/calcium hydroxide mixture. The calcium oxide will absorb the water produced in the reaction and ensure that the ammonia gas is dry. Gently warm the reaction mixture. Collect a test tube which contains a few drops of concentrated hydrochloric acid.

Calcium oxide (CaO), commonly known as quicklime or burnt lime, is a widely used chemical compound.It is a white, caustic, alkaline, crystalline solid at room temperature. The broadly used term "lime" connotes calcium-containing inorganic materials, in which carbonates, oxides and hydroxides of calcium, silicon, magnesium, aluminium, and iron predominate.

The invention discloses a preparation method of calcium oxide based absorbing materials using diatomite as carriers. The preparation method uses natural minerals diatomite as the carriers and supported calcium oxide based materials are synthesized through impregnation and precipitation methods.

Calcium oxide is a promising sorbent for the capture of carbon dioxide. In this work, CaO sorbents were prepared using different precursors, including Ca(NO3)2·4H2O, CaO, Ca(OH)2, CaCO3, and Ca(CH3COO)2·H2O. Of these, the sorbent prepared from calcium acetate (CaAc2−CaO) resulted in the best uptake characteristics for CO2. This sorbent had a higher BET surface area and larger pore volume ...

Chemical tests on the clayey diatomite showed that it was an acid rock with approximately 60% SiO 2.The parameters of the amount of SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 present, as well as the mass loss (LOI), obviously indicate the determined mineral phases—opal, illite, quartz, feldspar, chlorite in the treated sample. The total alkaline oxide content of 2.53% indicates a feldspar content of 16%.

Diatomite/ground calcium carbonate composite humidity control materials were prepared by calcination using diatomite and GCC as raw materials. DG750 with more mesoporous structure, hydrophilic calcium hydroxide, calcium oxide and calcium silicate exhibited better moisture adsorption ability. Download : Download high-res image (100KB)

Perlite is a non-crystalline glass with a typical composition including 70-75% silicon dioxide, 12-15% aluminum oxide, 3-5% potassium oxide, 3-4% sodium oxide and traces of iron oxide, magnesium oxide and calcium oxide.
