Calcium oxide, CaO is an inorganic chemical compound belonging to the group of basic oxides. It contains calcium on the second oxidation stage.

Calcium oxide is used in construction (as a mortar), metallurgy, glass and ceramic industry. It is also used in the form of an insecticide (insecticide), as a fertilizer in agriculture (increases the pH of the soil), and also for carbide production. In laboratories it is used, among others, in the process of obtaining ammonia and in the form of a dehydrating agent.
