Calcium Oxide is the chemical combination of calcium and oxygen subsequently forming a product that is rich in its characteristics and has an excellent set of properties that enable it to perform various tasks. It is also known as quicklime as well as burnt lime. The uses of Calcium Oxide in our daily life are extended enough that they can be categorized into several branches due to the top characteristics that it holds. All of these are great, playing a role in enhancing the lifestyle of humans by contributing through all the means that are possibly accessible.
Uses of calcium oxide
1. Production of Heat
2. Production of Light
3. Ingredient for Cement and as Alkaline
4. For detection of water in the Petroleum Industry
5. As Plaster
6. Shrimp Culture Industry
7. As Weapon
8. Production of Bitan Egg
A strong base is generated by CaO hydration and it is the main way for BiCaO dispersion’s deodorization and microbicidal activities. BiSCaO’s CaO content is way more, suggesting that higher deodorizing and microbicidal activities are showed by BiSCaO dispersion because of the higher pH as compared to SSP-Ca(OH)2. Although, according to the studies, at the same pH, higher activity was displayed by BiSCaO-6 as compared to NaOH solution, suggesting that only alkalinity is not what causes BiSCaO’s deodorizing and microbicidal properties.
Calcium Oxide is a significant agent, a toxic waste remediation agent, and an adsorbent. Although, harmful impurities are possessed by LiMCaO and they have a very high heat of hydration. However, scallop shells are comparatively a CaO readily available source and they are also utilized in paving and plastering materials, and as a food additive. Still, most of the scallop shells are industrial waste, and they join each other in Japan’s harvesting district’s shores, resulting in serious problems like soil pollution and offensive tastes because of heavy metals and harmful materials leaching from the shells.
Conclusion
Calcium Oxide is one of the most used products in daily life as it enhances the chances of ease, comfort, and safety for all human beings. Its availability and productivity have highly increased over the past years and are continuing to grow as the best results can be seen through its consistent use.
