What’s Calcium Hydride?
Calcium hydroide
This inorganic compound has the chemical formula CaH2 and a molecularweight of 42.10. These grayish-white crystals are easily deliquescent and can be used to make lumps or reducing agents. It can also be a colorless orthorhombic and powdered crystal. The crystal is very sensitive to humidity. Although it is not able to react at room temperature with nitrogen or dry air, nor with chlorine, it can at high temperatures react with these gases to create calcium oxide, calcium nutride and calcium chloride. Water can also react with it to produce hydrogen and decompose it. To produce hydrogen and calcium, it can also react to ethanol. This reduces metal oxides more than lithium hydride and sodium hydride.
What is the health risk of calcium hydride?
Human mucous membranes, the upper respiratory tract, skin and eyes can all be exposed to calcium hydride. It can also cause respiratory problems such as spasm, inflammation and larynx edema. Contact can lead to a burning sensation, wheezing or cough, as well as shortness of breathing, nausea and vomiting.
Protection measures to protect calcium hydride
Protection for your breathing: You should use a respirator that is dustproof and has an air supply filter. If you are unable to use an external respirator, it’s recommended to have a self-contained one.
Eye protection: Protection with respiratory protection.
Wear chemical protective clothing to protect your body.
Wear rubber gloves to protect your hands
Others: No smoking is allowed at the workplace. Take care of your personal hygiene.
What do you do if calcium hydride accidentally gets in my eyes?
Contact to skin: Remove contaminated clothes immediately. After 15 minutes, rinse the area with lots of water. Seek medical attention.
Eye contact: Pull the upper eyelid upwards and rinse off with warm water. Seek medical attention.
You can inhale: Quickly move on to somewhere with fresh air. You should keep your airway open. If it is hard to breathe, you can give oxygen. Give artificial respiration immediately if your breathing is difficult. Seek medical attention.
Drinking: If your mistake is to ingest milk, or egg whites, rinse your mouth and wash off with hot water. Seek medical attention.
What should you do if calcium hydroide leaked?
You should isolate the affected area, and limit access. You must cut the source of fire. The best emergency responders should use self-contained breathing equipment and acid-alkali-resistant overalls. Don’t touch any leakages. If there is a little leakage, avoid touching it. Place the container in a safe area. For large amounts of leakage, you can cover it with plastic sheet or canvas in order to minimize scattering. To determine how to remove it, please contact the appropriate technical department.
