Hindering CaO Reaction with Moisture.
Hindering CaO Reaction with Moisture.
(OP)
Hello People!
Please, I need help with this: Which solvent can be used to handle CaO in order to prevent it from reacting with water? I think it is some sort of oil, but I am not too sure. Please bear in mind that this is to be used on a large scale and so it would help if it were rather cheap.
Thank you very much in advance.

2) Don't use any organic acid or alcohol or anything else with an OH; CaO will react to form Ca(OH)2.
3) Don't use anything with F; it will form CaF2.
4) Don't use anything with SO2, SO3, etc.
5) Don't use CO2 gas.
6) Suggest using dry N2 gas.

If you can afford an all steel container with a vacuum draw, then this is an option, but still use dessicant.
