Calcium Nitride Ca3N2 Overview
Calcium nitride is a compound of calcium and nitrogen with the chemical formula Ca3N2. In most cases, calcium nitride can usually be used in large quantities. 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 forms harmless water during use. Challenges associated with using hydrogen as an energy source include developing 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, submicron and nanopowder forms are contemplated. Calcium nitride Ca3N2 is the main raw material for high-end phosphors. Phosphors are more stable, perform better, and work better under high temperature and high humidity conditions. 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.
Calcium nitride synthesis method
Calcium nitride can be obtained by reacting elemental calcium in nitrogen flow. The fine fibrous metal calcium purified by distillation is placed in a nickel boat and heated at 450°C for 3-4 hours in a purified N2 stream. Because the crystal form of metal calcium changes at this temperature (hexagonal crystal Ca→body-centered cubic Ca), the metal lattice structure becomes loose, so the nitridation reaction speed is very fast, and calcium nitride can be obtained.

The chemical equation for the reaction
3Ca + N2 === Ca3N2 (reaction condition: ignite)
Is calcium nitride toxic?
The substance may be hazardous to the environment and special attention should be given to water bodies.
Application of calcium nitride Ca3N2
Calcium nitride Ca3N2 is mainly used as a chemical reagent, and can obtain active nitride ions with Ca3N2. Calcium hydride (desiccant) can be prepared by heating calcium nitride and hydrogen gas at temperatures above 350°C. Ca3N2 can be used to obtain active nitride ions, and calcium hydride (desiccant) can be obtained by heating calcium nitride with hydrogen at temperatures above 350 °C.
When calcium burns in air, it forms Ca3N2 with the oxide CaO. The distilled fibrous metal calcium is heated to 450°C in a stream of pure nitrogen, and the metal calcium is nitrided to calcium nitride after 3-4 hours.
Depending on the preparation temperature, the obtained calcium nitride is black at 350°C, milky white at 350-1150°C, and golden yellow above 1150°C. The calcium nitride formed is easy to identify because it can react with moisture or water to form calcium hydroxide and ammonia.
