Calcium peroxide (CaOâ‚‚)Â is an oxygen-releasing compound primarily used as an oxidizing agent, soil conditioner, and in environmental remediation. It appears as a pale yellow or white powder and is relatively stable at room temperature. When it comes in contact with water, it slowly decomposes, releasing hydrogen peroxide and oxygen. This property makes it particularly valuable in agriculture to increase soil oxygen levels, enhance root development, and promote microbial activity. Additionally, it is used in aquaculture to increase dissolved oxygen levels in water bodies and in the food industry for bleaching flour and dough conditioning.
In environmental applications, calcium peroxide plays a key role in wastewater treatment and bioremediation, especially in treating oil-contaminated soils and groundwater by stimulating aerobic microbial activity. It is considered more environmentally friendly compared to other chemical oxidants due to its controlled oxygen release and non-toxic byproducts. Its usage is growing in sustainable agriculture and green remediation technologies. However, handling calcium peroxide requires care as it can irritate the eyes, skin, and respiratory system, and it must be stored away from moisture to prevent premature decomposition.
