Technical parameters

Main application fields

Efficient compound fertilizers in the agricultural field

• Improvement of acidic soil: Calcium can neutralize soil acidity. Calcium-loving crops, such as fruits and vegetables, can effectively prevent calcium deficiency symptoms.
• Foliar fertilizers and drip irrigation fertilizers: Due to their excellent water solubility.
• Soilless cultivation: It is an important source of calcium and nitrogen for nutrient solutions.

Industrial field

• Electronics industry: Used for coating cathode.
• Fireworks manufacturing industry: Used as an oxidant in the production of fireworks.
• Chemical production: As raw material for manufacturing other nitrates.
• Building materials: It may be used as a concrete additive, etc.
• Water treatment: It is applied in some wastewater treatment processes.

Packaging, Storage and Safety Instructions

• Packaging: Commonly available are woven bags of 25kg and 50kg per bag, lined with plastic film for moisture-proofing.
• Storage: It should be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated warehouse. Because it is highly hygroscopic, it is necessary to pay attention to moisture prevention.
• Safe Operation: Calcium nitrate is oxidizing. Storage and transportation must be handled as an oxidizing agent. It is recommended to wear appropriate protective equipment during operation, such as dust masks, safety goggles and gloves. Keep away from fire and heat sources, and store separately from reducing agents, flammable materials, acids, etc.

FAQ

Q1: What are the main differences between agricultural calcium nitrate and industrial calcium nitrate?

The main differences lie in purity, impurity control and product standards. Agricultural grade focuses on the content of nutrients (calcium and nitrogen) and the restrictions on harmful impurities such as heavy metals. Industrial grade, on the other hand, has different requirements for specific impurities based on specific applications (such as electronics and pyrotechnics).

Q2: What are the differences between calcium nitrate and calcium ammonium nitrate?

A: These are two different kinds of fertilizers. Calcium nitrate mainly provides nitrate nitrogen and calcium. Calcium ammonium nitrate contains nitrate nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen and calcium. The nitrogen form is more diverse and sometimes has a better anti-leaching effect.

Q3: Calcium nitrate has formed lumps during storage. Can it still be used?

A: Calcium nitrate is prone to moisture absorption and caking If the caking is not severe, breaking usually does not affect the application effect, especially when used for soil fertilization. However, it is necessary to check whether the packaging is damaged and improve the storage conditions.
