Calcium cyanamide

Description:
Calcium cyanamide, with the CAS number 156-62-7, is an inorganic compound that appears as a white to grayish solid. It is primarily known for its use as a fertilizer and as a precursor in the production of various nitrogen-containing compounds. The chemical formula for calcium cyanamide is CaCN2, indicating that it consists of calcium, carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen. This compound is produced by the reaction of calcium carbide with nitrogen at high temperatures. Calcium cyanamide is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the environment, which can affect its stability and effectiveness as a fertilizer. It is also alkaline in nature, which can influence soil pH when applied. In addition to its agricultural applications, calcium cyanamide is utilized in the synthesis of melamine and as a desulfurizing agent in metallurgy. However, it can be toxic if ingested or inhaled, and appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling it. Overall, calcium cyanamide is a versatile compound with significant industrial and agricultural relevance.
