Calcium Acetate Monohydrate Manufacturing process

Stepwise Process

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Filtration

    • Filter the solution to remove unreacted impurities and insoluble particles.
    • Obtain a clear Calcium Acetate solution for further processing.
  4. Concentration & Crystallization

    • Concentrate the solution by controlled evaporation under vacuum.
    • Cool the solution to initiate the crystallization of Calcium Acetate Monohydrate.
  5. Separation & Drying

    • Separate the formed crystals using filtration or centrifugation.
    • Dry the crystals under controlled temperature and humidity to maintain the monohydrate form.
  6. 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.
