CaH2 Calcium Hydride Powder:
CaH2 Powder Calcium Hydride is the chemical name for CaH2. CaH2 is a Gray/white crystal that can be blocky or crystallized. It is used in a variety of applications, including desiccants, chemical analysis, and reducing agents. Also known as colorless orthorhombic Crystal; Industrial products are either gray, orthorhombics, or powder. What is the type of bond in calcium hydride Ionic hydroides react violently with water when they remove hydrogen gas. Binary hydrides, which are composed of hydrogen and only one other element, have a general form of MH2 or MH3. Examples include sodium hydride(NaH), LiH2, calcium hydride(CaH2) or magnesium hydride(MgH2). It is sensitive to moisture. Calcium Hydroide is a leading Calciumhydride supplier . It doesn't react with nitrogen or chlorine when heated to normal temperatures. However, at high temperatures it will react with these gases and form calcium chloride. The reaction can occur when the water is broken down and released hydrogen. This then reacts with ethanol and forms calcium glycolate.

This chemical compound can be used as a drying agent. However, it does have some disadvantages.
The drying of this compound takes a long time as it's not soluble with any solvent that doesn't react violently.
This powdered substance is incompatible with a wide range of solvents. This compound can cause explosive reactions when it reacts with chlorocarbons. Why is calcium hydrolith called Hydrolith? CaH2 hydrate is also known as Hydrolith. It is a salt-like hydride. Saline hydrides are formed by alkali metals, alkaline Earth metals and other metals.
This product cannot be used to deoxygenate solvents because it does not remove dissolved air.
Due to their similar looks, it is very difficult to differentiate between Calcium Hydride & Calcium hydroxide.

How does Calcium Hydride CaH2 Powder get made?
Following are the specific steps involved in making calcium hydride.
1. Place the iron plate with refined calcium that is 99.5% pure in the middle of the quartz tube. Install the rubber plugs for the water outlets and inlet pipes on both ends of your quartz reaction tube. Then purify hydrogen gas using the water inlet, and connect the water outlet pipe to the fume-hood via a mineral oil bubbler. What occurs when calcium hydroide reacts to water? When Calcium Hydride (CaH2) is vigorously reacted with water it releases hydrogen gas. The activation of CaH2's hydrolysis in ethanol (Ea=20.03 kJ/mol), is less than other reactions. Electric furnaces are used to heat up the reaction tube. A large amount of purified hydrogen will be introduced into the reaction system to replace air at first, followed by heating with an electric oven. The reaction began at around 200degC. After heating to 250-300degC the hydrogen was added at a flow of 0.6ml/min. The reaction is completed in 2 hours. The calcium hydroide produced is a porous, crystalline powder that is off-white in color. Its purity is approximately 99%.
2. Alkaline metal hydride can be produced by pure electrolytic hydrogenation and alkaline metal. CaH 2 is prepared with the same hydrogenation apparatus as alkali metallic hydride. For the purification of metallic calcium, the vacuum distillation process must be repeated. After that, the oxide layer is removed from the surface in a box containing argon. When air is removed, the surface appears smooth and pristine. A boat made of iron electrolytic is used to contain small metal calcium. The boat is then enclosed within a quartz tube. The quartz tube's heating section is covered by a thin-walled electrolytic tube to protect the quartz tube against corrosion from calcium vapor. The calcium is first heated to 400 to 500degC, to begin the hydrogenation, and then to 1000degC. Calcium hydride can be obtained after the reaction has been completed by cooling it to room temperatures. To check if the hydrogenation has completed, you can use a petroleum bubbler. Pause H2. Pause H2. If the liquid in the conduit is rising, then the hydrogenation process must still continue.

Application for Calcium Hydride Powder CaH2:
CaH2 powder is used for powder metallurgy. Zirconium oxide, niobium oxide, hafnium, and other metals can be reduced and the metal powder obtained. CaH2 powder can be used for a dehydrating, hydrogenating, condensing, or desiccant agent of organic compounds. For what is calcium hydroide used?
Its use can be safer than other more reactive agents, such as sodium metal and the sodium-potassium alloy. It is used widely as a desiccant in basic solvents, such as amines and Pyridine. It is used to dry alcohol.
Calcium Hydride Uses
The compound has two major uses: the first is as a dehydratant, and secondly to produce hydrogen.
Calcium hydride used as desiccant
It is a relatively gentle desiccant. This compound is less reactive than other desiccant compounds such as sodium-potassium and sodium metal. It reacts with the water in a number of ways.
CaH2 + 2 H2O-Ca(OH)2 + 2 H2
By filtration, decantation, or distillation you can separate the hydrolysis product of this reaction, which is Ca(OH2)2 and hydrogen (gas).
This compound can be used to desiccate many alkaline solvents, such as pyridine and amines. Pre-drying solvents is often done before adding more reactive desiccants.
Use of calcium hydroxide for hydrogen production
As a hydrogen-source, it was sold under the brand name "Hydrolith". For a long period of time, it has been used to produce hydrogen. In many experiments, pure hydrogen is produced in the lab using this material.
This powdered compound has two other uses: it is a strong reducer.

Condition of Storage for Calcium Hydride Powder CaH2:
CaH2 powder's dispersion and use will be affected if it is damp. Calcium Hydride CaH2 must be packed in vacuum and kept in a cool, dry place. CaH2 should not be exposed to stress.

Packing & Shipping of Calciumhydride CaH2 Powder
The packing we use depends on the amount of calcium Hydride CaH2 powder.
CaH2 Calcium Hydride Powder packaging: vacuum packed, 100g/bag, 500g/bag, 1kg/bag and 25kg/barrel.
Shipping of Calcium Hydride Powder CaH2: Can be done by sea, air or express.
