Granular Inorganic Peroxides , Calcium Superoxide For Seed Disinfectant

Granular calcium peroxide is made of powdered calcium peroxide. Calcium peroxide is a white or yellowish solid peroxide which slowly decomposes to release oxygen at a controlled rate when in contact with hydrous media. Calcium peroxide based chemical oxygen product is one of the most temperature stable inorganic oxygen release compounds. It decomposes slowly in moist air, is practically insoluble in water, and dissolves in acids, forming hydrogen peroxide.

Calcium peroxide has been used for many years as a dough conditioner in the United States. In Japan, it is used in the cultivation of tomatoes, cucumbers, tobacco, and prawns; in Europe, it has been used as a coating on beet seeds. Other industrial applications include:

• Oxidizing agent in the production of titanium-aluminum alloys
• Peroxide source in toothpaste as a whitener
• Agriculture to release oxygen into soils
• Seed pretreatment
