Physical and chemical properties of Calcium Metal
The content of calcium in the earth’s crust is 3.6%. Pure calcium is a silvery-white metal with plasticity.
The chemical properties of calcium are very active. Calcium and oxygen form a particularly stable oxide—calcium oxide. Calcium oxide, commonly known as limestone or quicklime, has a high hardness and a high melting point (2876K), and is an alkaline oxide. Calcium Metal plays a vital role in the smelting process.
Zhenxin can smelt calcium into high-quality Calcium Metal products through advanced smelting technology. The calcium content can reach 98.5%, 99.0%. China’s national standards are as follows:
Calcium metal produced by zhenxin in different shapes
- Metal calcium wire: diameter 5.8mm~8.5mm can be provided.
- Metal calcium rod: diameter 90mm, length 40mm; diameter 120mm, 48mm.
- Metal calcium particles: irregular particles, 0~6mm, 0~2mm.
- Metal calcium block: 50~200mm.
- Metal calcium chips: length 20~50mm, width 12mm, thickness 4mm.
- Solid pure calcium wire: strip thickness 0.5~0.7mm, strip width 38mm, solid pure calcium coil inner diameter 600mm, solid pure calcium coil 1100mm, solid pure calcium coil height 600mm.
Packing of calcium metal from Zhenxin Metallurgy
Calcium metal is highly reactive, which makes its packaging a crucial aspect of storage and transportation. The use of iron drums filled with argon gas for airtight packaging is not a random choice but a well – considered solution.
- First, calcium readily reacts with oxygen and moisture in the air. Once exposed, it can quickly oxidize or even catch fire in extreme cases. Iron drums offer a sturdy physical barrier, protecting calcium from external mechanical damage.
- Second, argon gas is inert. By filling the iron drum with argon, we create an oxygen – free and moisture – free environment around the calcium metal. This effectively prevents the chemical reactions that would otherwise occur due to the presence of air components.
- In summary, the combination of iron drums and argon – filled airtight packaging is designed to ensure the safety and integrity of calcium metal during storage and transit, safeguarding both the product and those handling it.
Transportation of calcium metal from Zhenxin Metallurgy
When exporting calcium metal, strict regulations govern domestic transportation and storage. Given its hazardous nature, it must be transported by specialized dangerous goods vehicles. These vehicles are equipped with safety features to prevent potential accidents during transit.
Upon arrival at the port, calcium metal is stored in dedicated dangerous goods warehouses. This ensures it is kept in a controlled environment, away from substances that could trigger reactions.
For booking shipping space, exporters need to work closely with freight forwarders familiar with handling dangerous goods. They must provide all necessary documentation, including safety data sheets, to ensure smooth customs clearance and secure a spot on the vessel for a safe international journey.
