Calcium sulfide is a white-coloured crystal having a crystal structure like rock salt (NaCl). Let us read about some uses of Calcium sulfide in the article below:
CaS is useful in many industrial sectors as discussed below:
- Lime production
- Lubrication
- Fluorescence and luminescence
- Ores
This article will discuss the uses of CaS in industries, like lime production, lubrication, flourescence and luminescence and ores.
Lime production
Calcium sulfide reacts with elemental sulfur to produce lime sulfur.
Lubrication
CaS is mixed in lubricant additives to vary the properties of the lubricant.
Fluorescence and luminescence
CaS is used in luminous paints to provide colours during fluorescence.
Ores
Calcium sulfide acts as a floatation agent and also works in ore dressing.
Conclusion:
This article concludes that CaS has similar structural properties but is chemically somewhere different. CaS has only some limited uses in industries and other sectors. However, there can be some other applications of CaS that can be found in the future.
