Calcium propionate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

1. Calcium hydroxide powder in the neutralization pot made of suspension, adding propionic acid to pH 7 ~ 8, neutralization temperature 70 ~ 100 ℃, neutralization time 2 ~ 3h. The neutralization solution is filtered to remove insoluble matter, and the clear liquid is concentrated, cooled, crystallized, separated and dried to obtain a finished product. CH3CH2COOH [Ca (OH) 2] → (CH3CH2COO) 2Ca ② The excess egg shell was reacted with propionic acid at normal temperature and normal pressure for 3 h, filtered and concentrated, dried at 120 ℃ to obtain scaly white anhydrous calcium propionate crystals, Its yield can reach more than 97%. ③ In the reactor, CaO and a certain amount of water were mixed to prepare lime milk with the concentration of 1.0 ~ 1.3mol / L, and then slowly stirred at 70 ~ 95 ℃ to 12 ~ 13mol / L propionic acid (excess 50%) solution was added, stirring was continued for 30 min until the solution was clarified to obtain a solution of calcium propionate. Control the pH value of 7 to 8, to be cooled after filtration, remove the insoluble matter, the filtrate into the evaporator, concentrated white powder of calcium propionate, and then in the oven at 120 ~ 140 ℃ drying dehydration, white powder Calcium propionate products.
2. by propionic acid and calcium hydroxide in the concentration, by concentration, crystallization, separation, drying derived.
3. Calcium hydroxide into a suspension, add propionic acid reaction, the reaction material by filtration, drying can be

Uses

As an inhibitor of molds and other microorganisms in foods, tobacco, pharmaceuticals; in butyl rubber to improve processability and scorching resistance.
