Safety Information
CALCIUM ALUMINATE Usage And Synthesis
| Chemical Properties | white, monoclinic, tricl, or rhomb; -200 mesh 99% powder(s) [CER91] [CRC10] |
| Physical properties | Calcium aluminate is a white powder and exhibits a monoclinic crystallineform. Its density is 2.98 g/cc and its melting pointis 1605 °C. |
| Uses | The major use found for CaAl2O4 has been as a hydrouscement. Alternative names are “aluminous cement”,“high-alumina cement” (HAC) and “Ciment fondu”.They are used in a number of small-scale, specializedapplications. |
| Uses | Calcium aluminum oxide is used as a precursor in the production of naphtha steam reforming catalysts, refinery gas steam reforming catalysts, aluminum chlorohydrate, secondary hydrocarbon steam reforming catalysts. It is also used in the production of refractory and cements. |
| Preparation | Calcium aluminate can be formed by heating theoxides together at about 900–1250 °C:
CaO + Al2O3 + heat→CaAl2O4 |
