Calcium cyanamide（Cat No.:M069517）, a chemical compound with the formula CaCN2, is a white crystalline solid often used as a fertilizer and in the production of cyanide compounds. It releases ammonia upon hydrolysis, aiding in soil nitrogen enrichment. However, caution is warranted due to its toxicity and reactivity with water, producing toxic hydrogen cyanamide. Industrially, it’s synthesized via the cyanamide process, involving calcium carbide and nitrogen. In agriculture, it’s valued for its dual role in providing nitrogen and controlling weeds.
