Calcium nitrate, also called Norgessalpeter (Norwegian saltpeter) is the inorganic compound with the formula Ca(NO3)2. This colourless salt absorbs moisture from the air and is commonly found as a tetrahydrate. It can also be found in a complex salt as Calcium Ammonium Nitrate decahydrate or Calcium Potassium Nitrate decahydrate. It is mainly used as a component in fertilizers but also technical applications. Nitrocalcite is the name for a mineral which is a hydrated calcium nitrate that forms as an efflorescence where manure contacts concrete or limestone in a dry environment as in stables or caverns.
