Calcium oxide thermal properties

Thermal Properties. Because all limestone is converted to an oxide before fusion or melting occurs, the only melting point appHcable is that of quicklime. These values are 2570°C for CaO and 2800°C for MgO. Boiling point values for CaO are 2850°C and for MgO 3600°C. The mean specific heats for limestones and limes gradually ascend as temperatures increase from 0 to 1000°C. The ranges are as follows high calcium limestone, 0.19—0.26 dolomitic quicklime, 0.19—0.294 dolomitic limestone, 0.206—0.264 magnesium oxide, 0.199—0.303 and calcium oxide, 0.175—0.286.

When a PA is to be used in applications requiring self-extinguishing characteristics and flame retardant properties, it is necessary to resort to the addition of a flame retardant. Flame retardant formulations, known in the field of poly(ester)s, can be widely adapted to PAs. Brominated poly(styr-ene) in combination with an antimony compound, such as sodium antimon-ate, can be used." The performance is improved when a minor amount of calcium oxide is added. The thermal stability of these compositions is much better in comparison to formulations with magnesium oxide or zinc oxide. 

Grosshardt et al. prepared a series of furan based polyesters, by reacting FDCA dimethyl ester with 1,3-propanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1,12-dodecanediol and 1,18-octadecanediol, using calcium acetate and antimony(III) oxide as catalysts [47]. Molecular weights and thermal properties were determined for all polyesters and are summarized in Table 9.6. 

AFBC ashes exhibit hydraulic properties. The main reaction products are a C-S-H phase and ettiingite formed in a reaction of the thermally activated clay minerals with the present free lime, calcium sulfate, and mixing water. PFBC ashes are similarly reactive however, calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide must be added to the system to compensate for the lack of sufficient amounts of free lime in the ash. 

Hot-pressed BN is very pure (greater than 99 percent), the major impurity being boric oxide (BO). Boric oxide tends to hydrolyze in water, degrading the dielectric and thermal shock properties. Calcium oxide (CaO) is frequently added to tie up the BO to minimize the water absorption. When exposed to temperatures above 1100°C, BO forms a thin coating on the surface, slowing further oxide growth. 

The release of carbonate groups from the HA structure results in a decrease of the thermal stability and in the formation of calcium oxide as a decomposition product of the bone tissue mineral phase, which affects the mechanical properties as well as the biocompatibility of the as-fabricated materials [46, 47]. The loss of carbonate groups can however be prevented by performing the heat-treatment in a carbon dioxide containing atmosphere [47].

The most important attributes of this invention are high impulse performance coupled with high exit temperature on primary combustion and favorable boron species in the primary motor exhaust. The system is also insensitive to impact and possesses excellent thermal stability at elevated temperatures. Additionally, the system is readily castable since the addition of solid oxidizers is not required. Further, high flexibility in the ballistic properties of the gas generator can be achieved by the addition of solid oxidizers such as ammonium nitrate, ammonium perchlorate, hydroxylammonium perchlorate, potassium perchlorate, lithium perchlorate, calcium nitrate, barium perchlorate, RDX, HMX etc. The oxidizers are preferably powdered to a particle size of about 10 to 350 microns [13].

Fluorosilicones can be compounded by the addition of mineral fillers and pigments. Fillers for such compounds are most commonly silicas (silicon dioxide), because they are compatible with the elastomeric silicon-oxygen backbone and thermally very stable. They range in surface areas from 0.54 to 400 m2/g and average particle size from 100 to 6 nm. Because of these properties, they offer a great deal of flexibility in reinforcement. Thus, cured compounds can have Durometer A hardness from 40 to 80. Other fillers commonly used in fluorosilicones are calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide. 

Mixed oxides have a widespread application as magnets, catalysts, and ceramics. Often, nonstoichiometric mixtures with unusual properties can be prepared for example, Fe203 and ZnO have been milled for the production of zinc ferrite [40], while mixed oxides of Ca(OH)2 and Si02 were described by Kosova et al. [77]. Piezoceramic material such as BaTi03 from BaO and anatase Ti02 has been prepared [78], while ZnO and Cr203 have been treated by Marinkovic et al. [79] and calcium silicate hydrates from calcium hydroxide and silica gel by Saito et al. [80]. The thermal dehy-droxylation of Ni(OH)2 to NiO or NiO-Ni(OH)2 nanocomposites has also been investigated [81]. 

Further incorporation of thermal processing into the manufacturing process leads to products with improved color properties. In the commercial paint sector, the use of inorganic stabilizers, for example calcium, aluminum or zinc phosphate or oxides like aluminum oxide, improves other pigment properties, e.g. photochromism, weathering and acid resistance. 

Major producers manufacture acetylene by either the partial oxidation of natural gas or as a coproduct of the thermal cracking of ethylene minor producers manufacture acetylene from calcium carbide. About 80% of production is used as a closed system intermediate in the manufacture of acetylene black as well as acetylenic and vinyl derivatives used in a variety of applications such as the manufacture of plastics. The remaining 20% is used primarily in oxyacetylene torches for welding and metal cutting. Although acetylene was used as an anesthetic in the early 1900s, this use has fallen into disfavor due to the explosive properties of acetylene.
