General description
Calcium methoxide is an alkaline earth metal compound that can be used as a calcium catalyst. It is a solid base catalyst that shows excellent catalytic activity and stability. It can be synthesized by reacting calcined calcium carbonate with methanol reflux under a nitrogen flow.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one of the four categories of Greener Alternatives. This is an enabling product and can be used as a precursor to make perovskite oxides, which promote thermoelectric heat-to-electricity conversion, improving energy efficiency.
