History
Calcium (CAS NO.7440-70-2) was known as early as the first century when the Ancient Romans prepared lime as calcium oxide. Literature dating back to 975 AD notes that plaster of paris (calcium sulphate), is useful for setting broken bones. It was not isolated until 1808 in England when Sir Humphry Davy electrolyzed a mixture of lime and mercuric oxide. Davy was trying to isolate calcium; when he heard that Swedish chemist J?ns Jakob Berzelius and Pontin prepared calcium amalgam by electrolyzing lime in mercury, he tried it himself. He worked with electrolysis throughout his life and also discovered/isolated sodium, potassium, magnesium, boron and barium. Calcium metal was not available in large scale until the beginning of the 20th century.
Uses
Calcium (CAS NO.7440-70-2) is used as a reducing agent in the extraction of other metals, such as uranium, zirconium, and thorium,as a deoxidizer, desulfurizer, or decarbonizer for various ferrous and nonferrous alloys and used as an alloying agent used in the production of aluminium, beryllium, copper, lead, and magnesium alloys. It is used in the making of cements and mortars to be used in construction.,in the making of cheese, where calcium ions influence the activity of rennin in bringing about the coagulation of milk.

Specification
Calcium (CAS NO.7440-70-2), its Synonyms are Elemental calcium ; HSDB 273 ; UNII-SY7Q814VUP . It is silvery, soft metal that turns grayish white on exposure to air. Calcium is a soft gray alkaline earth metal, and is the fifth most abundant element by mass in the Earth's crust. Calcium is also the fifth most abundant dissolved ion in seawater by both molarity and mass, after sodium, chloride, magnesium, and sulfate.
