Manufacturing process of Calcium Acetate Monohydrate
Stepwise Process
-
Raw Material Selection
- Select high-purity Calcium Carbonate or Calcium Hydroxide as the calcium source.
- Use Acetic Acid as the reactant.
- Purified water is used as a solvent for reaction and crystallization.
-
Reaction Process
- Slowly add Calcium Carbonate or Calcium Hydroxide to diluted Acetic Acid under controlled conditions.
- Stir the mixture continuously to ensure complete reaction.
- Carbon dioxide is released as a byproduct when using Calcium Carbonate.
-
Filtration
- Filter the solution to remove unreacted impurities and insoluble particles.
- Obtain a clear Calcium Acetate solution for further processing.
-
Concentration & Crystallization
- Concentrate the solution by controlled evaporation under vacuum.
- Cool the solution to initiate the crystallization of Calcium Acetate Monohydrate.
-
Separation & Drying
- Separate the formed crystals using filtration or centrifugation.
- Dry the crystals under controlled temperature and humidity to maintain the monohydrate form.
-
Quality Control & Packaging
- Perform quality tests to check purity, assay, and moisture content.
- Pack the final product in HDPE drums with inner polythene liners to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.
