62-54-4 Usage
Chemical properties
Calcium acetate, also known as acetate of lime or vinegar salts, is the calcium salt of acetic acid. It is an odorless powder. Calcium has an important role in the nutrition of humans and animals. Hormonal mechanisms control absorption of dietary calcium (including added calcium salts) allowing adaptation to a range of calcium intakes while maintaining a relatively constant blood calcium concentration of about 10 mg/100 mL. Major functions of calcium inside the body include the formation and maintenance of bones and teeth, the physiology of muscle contraction, the cell membrane integrity, the activity of several enzymes that have specific requirement for it, the coagulation of blood, and the regulation of acid-base balance.*

Description
Calcium acetate is a chemical compound which is calcium salt of acetic acid. It has the formula Ca(C2H3O2)2. Its standard name is calcium acetate, while calcium ethanoate is the systematic name. An older name is acetate of lime. The anhydrous form is very hygroscopic; therefore the monohydrate (Ca(CH3COO)2?H2O) is the common form.
Chemical Properties
Calcium acetate occurs as a white or almost white, odorless or
almost odorless, hygroscopic powder.
Production Methods
Calcium acetate can be prepared by soaking calcium carbonate (found in eggshells, or in common carbonate rocks such as lime stone or marble) in vinegar: CaCO3 + 2CH3COOH → Ca(CH3COO)2 + H2O + CO2 Since both reagents would have been available pre-historically, the chemical would have been observable as crystals then.
Preparation
Produced by calcium hydroxide neutralization of acetic acid.
Definition
ChEBI: The calcium salt of acetic acid. It is used, commonly as a hydrate, to treat hyperphosphataemia (excess phosphate in the blood) in patients with kidney disease: the calcium ion combines with dietary phosphate to form (insoluble) calcium phosphate, which is
excreted in the faeces.
General Description
Calcium Acetate belongs to the group of calcium salts, widely used as phosphorus binders in patients with chronic renal failure.Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards.
Pharmaceutical Applications
Calcium acetate is used as a preservative in oral and topical
formulations.
Therapeutically, parenteral calcium acetate acts as a source of
calcium ions for hypocalcemia or electrolyte balance. Oral
calcium acetate is used as a complexing agent for hyperphosphatemia
in dialysis patients. Calcium acetate is also used in the
food industry as a stabilizer, buffer and sequestrant.
Clinical Use
Phosphate binding agent
Safety Profile
Poison by intravenous
and intraperitoneal routes. Mutation data
reported. See also CALCIUM
COMPOUNDS. When heated to
decomposition it emits acrid smoke and
fumes.
Safety
Calcium acetate is used in oral and topical formulations. The pure
form of calcium acetate is toxic by IP and IV routes.
LD50 (mouse, IP): 0.075 g/kg
LD50 (mouse, IV): 0.052 g/kg
LD50 (rat, oral): 4.28 g/kg
Veterinary Drugs and Treatments
Calcium acetate can be used for oral administration to treat hyperphosphatemia
in patients with chronic renal failure. Secondary to its
phosphorus binding efficiency and lower concentration of elemental
calcium, calcium acetate is considered the most effective and having
the lowest potential for causing hypercalcemia of the calcium-based
phosphorus-binding agents. When compared to calcium carbonate,
calcium acetate binds approximately twice as much phosphorus per gram of elemental calcium administered. Unlike calcium citrate, calcium
acetate does not promote aluminum absorption.
Metabolism
The residual acetate will be metabolised through
bicarbonate, which will be further excreted via normal
metabolic routes.
Any unbound calcium not involved in the binding
of phosphate will be variable and may be absorbed.
Calcium is absorbed mainly from the small intestine by
active transport and passive diffusion. About one-third
of ingested calcium is absorbed although this can vary
depending upon dietary factors and the state of the small
intestine. 1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol (calcitriol), a
metabolite of vitamin D, enhances the active phase of
absorption.
Excess calcium is mainly excreted renally. Unabsorbed
calcium is eliminated in the faeces, together with that
secreted in the bile and pancreatic juice. Minor amounts
are lost in the sweat, skin, hair, and nails.
storage
Calcium acetate is stable although very hygroscopic, and so the
monohydrate is the common form. It decomposes on heating (above
1608℃) to form calcium carbonate and acetone.
Store in well-closed airtight containers.
Incompatibilities
Calcium acetate is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and
moisture.
Regulatory Status
GRAS listed. Accepted for use as a food additive in Europe.
Included in the FDA Inactive Ingredients Database (oral suspensions
and tablets; topical emulsions, lotions, and creams). Included

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 62-54-4 includes 5 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 2 digits, 6 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 4 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 62-54:
(4*6)+(3*2)+(2*5)+(1*4)=44
44 % 10 = 4
So 62-54-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

On the nature of calcium magnesium acetate road deicer

CMA (calcium magnesium acetate) road deicers have gained popularity in recent years as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional rock salt, and as an industrial adsorbent for removing H2S and other odorous acid gases from gas streams. Despite its increasing commercial use, its exact composition and crystalline structure remained unknown, with subsequent problems in evaluating properties of commercial CMA. Various synthetic routes towards formation of crystalline calcium magnesium acetates were investigated. From aqueous solutions preferential formation of calcium monohydrates or calcium monohydrate acetic acid solvates is observed. Crystals of genuine mixed metal calcium-magnesium acetate were obtained from hot glacial acetic acid. Material suitable for analysis by single crystal X-ray diffraction, SC-XRD, was obtained by slight reduction of solvent volume at 80 °C for several hours. CMA crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with a formula of Mg2Ca(OAc)6 (OAc = acetate anion), with a magnesium to calcium ratio of two to one. Under the same conditions, but in the absence of magnesium, the acetic acid solvate of calcium acetate, Ca(OAc)2(HOAc), is obtained, which is also described. Multicrystalline XRD and EDS analysis data of ground CMA samples match those of commercial CMA. Single crystal structural analysis finds an unusually large unoccupied void space of 9.4% of the unit cell volume. Thermal gravimetric analysis, TGA, gives an upper limit of one water molecule per formula unit of CMA, leaving the void space at least partially unoccupied. This helps to better understand CMAs unusually low density, which had been an issue when used as a commercial road deicer, having been described as being easily blown off road surfaces when applied in crystalline or powder form.
