| USES: Calcium metal is used in the manufacture of steel as a flux or purifier(scavenger), in the removal of bismuth from lead and in the alloying of lead for battery grid (lead acid batteries). |
| |
| HANDLING: The appearance of calcium metal is silver to silver
white. It is highly reactive and unstable in moist air. In air, calcium forms a
“hydration” coating. Calcium can be stored in dry air (30% or less relative humidity)
- this is not recommended! Calcium reacts with water liberating hydrogen which may
be auto-ignitable. Finely divided calcium will auto-ignite in air. Calcium metal must
be kept dry and stored in sealed metal containers under an atmosphere of argon!
Storage in well ventilated area is essential. |
