Storage methods and uses of calcium hydride

Today, we will briefly discuss the storage methods and uses of calcium hydride. It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well ventilated dedicated warehouse, away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature shall not exceed 32 ℃, and the relative humidity shall not exceed 75%. The packaging must be sealed to prevent moisture. It should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, alcohols, halogens, etc., and avoid mixing storage. Adopt explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. Prohibit the use of mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to generating sparks. The storage area should be equipped with suitable materials to contain leaked materials.

Usage: Used in powder metallurgy. When heated to 600-1000 ℃, it can be reduced with metal oxides such as zirconium, niobium, hafnium, etc. to obtain corresponding metal powders. Can be used as a lightweight hydrogen generator, as well as a reducing agent, desiccant, and analytical reagent
