CAS 12013-56-8: Calcium silicide (CaSi2)

Description:Calcium silicide (CaSi2) is an inorganic compound characterized by its metallic appearance and is primarily used in the production of silicon and as a reducing agent in metallurgical processes. It typically exists as a gray or black solid and has a crystalline structure. Calcium silicide is known for its reactivity, particularly with water, where it can release hydrogen gas, making it important to handle with care. It has a relatively high melting point and exhibits semiconducting properties, which can be exploited in various applications, including electronics. Additionally, it can react with acids, producing silanes and calcium salts. In terms of safety, calcium silicide can pose hazards due to its reactivity, especially in moist environments, and should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Overall, calcium silicide is a significant compound in both industrial and research settings, particularly in the fields of materials science and metallurgy.
