General description
Calcium oxide (CaO) is an alkaline earth metal oxide that
has many industrial applications. Calcium oxide receives great attention in
catalysis because it is affordable, environmentally friendly, and characterized
by a strong basic nature, abundantly available, low methanol solubility and
non-toxic compound.
Application
Calcium oxide is used:
As a
catalyst during the transesterification of palm oil to produce biodiesel.
In
the inactivation of Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts
and Giardia spp. Cysts from WTS (water treatment sludge).
