  • Physical properties For all practical purposes, calcium peroxide is insoluble in water but will dissolve in acid to form H2O2. When in contact with water, it will immediately begin to decompose releasing oxygen.
  • Uses Calcium peroxide is an ecologically pure substance that has been used in various fields of industry and agriculture. In environmental protection, it is used: ? For treating wastewater and remediation of groundwater ? For decontaminating soil In agriculture, it is used: ? As a fertilizer rich with oxygen ? For stimulating seed growth and their germination capability ? For presowing treatment of rice seed, which allows to do planting not by seedlings, but by dry seeds, coated with calcium peroxide. Such a technique sufficiently decreases the work expenditure and increases crop capacity. In aquaculture, it is used: ? To provide sufficient dissolved oxygen ? To adjust pH value ? To reduce the subaqueous content of ammonium and nitrogen ? To eliminate carbon dioxide and sulfureted hydrogen ? To prevent anaerobic bacteria from proliferation and application to manure heaps to kill disease-carrying bacteria originating from animal defecation. In poultry raising, it is used: ? To decontamination of fodder ? To increase productivity, safety from disease in hens and improving their eggs. In cattle breeding, it is used: ? For prophylaxis of casein-stone formation in the abdomen and to prevent diarrhea with newborn calves ? As an antimicrobic agent to prevent disease ? For stimulating protective organism strength ? For normalizing activity of the alimentary canal ? For activating digestion work ? For great increasing live-stock safety. In the bakery industry, it is used: ? To improve bread crumb and its porosity ? To keep moisture in dough during its baking ? To initiate yeast growth. Calcium Peroxide is a dough conditioner which exists as a white or yellowish powder or granule that is insoluble in water. it improves dough strength, grain, and texture, and increases absorption and crumb resiliency. it is used in bakery products. Stabilizer for rubber.
