Repeated or excessive exposure to Ca3N2 can cause eye damage and skin burns. In addition, it is a flammable solid, sparks, heat, open flames and water should be avoided as this may cause dangerous reactions.
Overview of calcium nitride Ca3N2
Calcium nitride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ca3N2. It exists in many forms (isomorphs), and α-calcium nitride is more common.
Calcium nitride powder has the characteristics of high purity and uniform particle size distribution. Calcium nitride is a red-brown crystalline solid composed of calcium and nitrogen.
α-Calcium nitride adopts a bixbyite structure, which is similar to Mn2O3, except that the ion position is reversed: Calcium (Ca 2+) occupies the oxide (O 2-) position, and the nitride ion (N 3-) Manganese (Mn 3+). In this structure, Ca 2+ occupies a tetrahedral position, and the nitride center occupies two different types of octahedral positions.
In most cases, calcium nitride can usually be used in large amounts. Hydrogen is easily produced from renewable energy sources and is the most abundant element in the universe. There are many sources of hydrogen, such as solid fuels, water, and renewable materials. Hydrogen is non-polluting and will form harmless water during use. Challenges related to the use of hydrogen as an energy source include the development of safe, compact, reliable, and cost-effective hydrogen storage and transmission technologies. Currently, hydrogen can be stored in three forms: compressed hydrogen, liquid hydrogen and chemical storage. High purity, sub-micron and nano powder forms can be considered. Calcium nitride Ca3N2 is the main raw material for high-end phosphors. The phosphor is more stable, has better performance, and has better effect under high temperature and high humidity. Last but not least, calcium nitride can also be used as a chemical treatment agent, which is the key to determining the performance of water-based mud.
Application of Calcium Nitride Ca3N2
Calcium nitride Ca3N2 is mainly used as a chemical reagent, and active nitride ions can be obtained with Ca3N2. Calcium hydride (desiccant) can be prepared by heating calcium nitride and hydrogen at a temperature higher than 350°C. Ca3N2 can obtain active nitride ions, and calcium hydride (desiccant) can be obtained by heating calcium nitride and hydrogen at a temperature above 350°C.
When calcium burns in the air, it will form Ca3N2 with the oxide CaO. The fibrous metallic calcium distilled out is heated to 450°C in a stream of pure nitrogen, and then the metallic calcium is nitrided into calcium nitride after 3-4 hours.
According to the different preparation temperature, the calcium nitride obtained is black at 350°C, milky white at 350-1150°C, and golden yellow above 1150°C. It is easy to identify the calcium nitride formed because it can react with moisture or water to form calcium hydroxide and ammonia.
