$8.50 for a tube.
Mucho dinero.

I bought a can of it at a prospector's supply in Billings. I think it was
$15.
Maybe a supplier for cavers would have it but a lot of people are going to
LED lights instead of carbide lamps.

RE: [biofuel] How to make calcium chloride?

2002-06-13 Thread kirk

Calcium oxide is CaO, it will hydrate and the reaction is strongly
exothermic. In sailing ship days barrels of quicklime or CaO have been
known to start fires with the heat of hydration. You can make your own
picnic heaters or MRE heaters with CaO. If you let the hydrated CaO sit
exposed to the air it will absorb CO2 and become CaCO3 (limestone) if you
heat this above 1200 degrees the CO2 is driven off and you have CaO again.

CaCO3 can be reacted with HCl (muriatic or hydrochloric acid) CO2 and H are
released. The resultant calcium chloride is hygroscopic and can be
regenerated by heating.

Hope this helps

Re: [biofuel] How to make calcium chloride?

2002-06-13 Thread Christian

Something in the corner of MY mind, where my little bit of chem-knoledge
resides, tells me that CaO is not the best stuff to dry esters. Yes: CaO and
HCl will produce water and CaCl2, but in a hydrated form. Probably you could
dehydrate the salt (after filtering and evaporating water), by calcination,
but this is an area I don«t know much of, and at high temperatures (I«m
talking of a closed crucible over direct fire) I don«t know if the substance
would decompose in some way.

Someone mentioned to me the other day (I think I recall having mntioned this
on a post some days ago) that CaCl could interfere with traces of methanol
surely present in the BD.

I«m still working on the water issue, as I«ve personally got some problems
here, with water contents of up to 2000 ppm (0,2 % vol) in my BD. A simple
solution seems to be to filter through very dry filter paper. Dry paper
should absorb water quite well (in my case, it worked well with emulsified
water in the final washing stage, removing the water content that impeded
the BD from being totally tranparent). It could work for dissolved water
too.

Regards,

Christian.

If you live near a waste processing plant or a power plant or know someone
who works there.  You can get it for free i guess.  Spent waste acids are
neutralized with CaO thus forming CaCl2.  Purity is not assured though so
better check.  They usually pay people to get rid of the stuff.

Re: [biofuel] How to make calcium chloride?

2002-06-13 Thread Ken

Another question to the group.

It says in the Chemical Dictionary that CaCl2 is soluble in water and
alcohol.  If its soluble in both, wouldn't that contaminate the alcohol.
For example drying alcohol to 200% proof.  With an azeotropic point of 95%,
to get rid of the 5% water, adding CaCL2 could do the job but some of it
could get dissolved in the pure alcohol.  Is this assumtion right?

Thanks to all for sharing your knowledge

Worked for a company at one time which made bricks to line the Basic Oxygen
furnaces at a local steel works. They calcined dolomite, crushed it up,
graded it then mixed it with pitch and compacted it using massive presses
into bricks of 45lb each.
At one stage they decided to road freight the calcined dolomite to another
plant. An open tray truck was used. The journey was quite lengthy and it
rained on the way.
One truck load eventually became two.
