The anhydrous form is very hygroscopic; therefore the monohydrate (Ca(CH3COO)2•H2O) is the common form.
Calcium acetate [Ca(CH3COO)2.H2O] is used as a food additive and a mordant to fix dyes in the textile industry.
Calcium acetate is used as an alkali (base) in the manufacture of soaps, to improve some lubricants, and as an antimold to preserve baked goods for a longer shelf life.

Calcium Acetate is a calcium salt of acetic acid.
Calcium is a mineral essential for many cellular functions including nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction, cardiac function, bone formation, and capillary and cell membrane permeability.
Calcium acetate is administered orally to prevent or treat calcium deficiency and to treat hyperphosphatemia due to its phosphate-binding properties.

Calcium acetate is the calcium salt of acetic acid.
Calcium acetate is used, commonly as a hydrate, to treat hyperphosphataemia (excess phosphate in the blood) in patients with kidney disease: the calcium ion combines with dietary phosphate to form (insoluble) calcium phosphate, which is excreted in the faeces.
Calcium acetate has a role as a chelator.
Calcium acetate contains an acetate.

What are the uses for calcium acetate?
Calcium acetate is used for reducing blood phosphate levels in people with end-stage kidney disease on dialysis who have high phosphate levels.
Calcium Acetate is available as white powder or agglomerate.
These two versions are chemically identical and differ only in physical form.
The agglomerate offers the properties on non-dustiness, improved wettability, higher reactivity, higher bulk density, and improved free-flow ability.

Pharmacology
Patients with advanced renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance less than 30 ml/min) exhibit phosphate retention and some degree of hyperphosphatemia.
The retention of phosphate plays a pivotal role in causing secondary hyperparathyroidism associated with osteodystrophy, and soft-tissue calcification.
The mechanism by which phosphate retention leads to hyperparathyroidism is not clearly delineated. Therapeutic efforts directed toward the control of hyperphosphatemia include reduction in the dietary intake of phosphate, inhibition of absorption of phosphate in the intestine with phosphate binders, and removal of phosphate from the body by more efficient methods of dialysis.
The rate of removal of phosphate by dietary manipulation or by dialysis is insufficient. Dialysis patients absorb 40% to 80% of dietary phosphorus.

Therefore, the fraction of dietary phosphate absorbed from the diet needs to be reduced by using phosphate binders in most renal failure patients on maintenance dialysis.
Calcium acetate when taken with meals combines with dietary phosphate to form insoluble calcium phosphate which is excreted in the feces.
Maintenance of serum phosphorus below 6.0 mg/dl is generally considered as a clinically acceptable outcome of treatment with phosphate binders.
Calcium acetate is highly soluble at neutral pH, making the calcium readily available for binding to phosphate in the proximal small intestine.

How should Calcium acetate be used?
Calcium acetate comes as a capsule, tablet, and a solution (liquid) to take by mouth.
Calcium acetate is usually taken along with each meal (e.g., 3 times a day if you eat 3 meals a day) as directed by your doctor. Take calcium acetate at around the same times every day.
Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand.
Take calcium acetate exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

If you are using the solution, do not use a household spoon to measure your dose.
Use the dosing cup that comes with the medication to measure your dose.
Ask your pharmacist if you have any question about how much medication you should take or how to use the dosing cup.

Calcium acetate is used to treat hyperphosphatemia (too much phosphate in the blood) in patients with end stage kidney disease who are on dialysis.
Calcium acetate works by binding with the phosphate in the food you eat, so that it is eliminated from the body without being absorbed.
Calcium acetate is available only with your doctor’s prescription.

This product is available in the following dosage forms:

WHAT IS CALCIUM ACETATE AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Calcium acetate is a calcium supplement used to control the level of phosphate in the blood for patients on dialysis due to severe kidney disease.
Calcium acetate is available under the following different brand names: Eliphos, PhosLo, Phoslyra, and Calphron.

Uses
Calcium acetate is used to prevent high blood phosphate levels in patients who are on dialysis due to severe kidney disease.
Dialysis removes some phosphate from your blood, but it is difficult to remove enough to keep your phosphate levels balanced.
Decreasing blood phosphate levels can help keep your bones strong, prevent unsafe buildup of minerals in your body, and possibly decrease the risk of heart disease and strokes that can result from high phosphate levels.
Calcium acetate is a natural mineral that works by holding onto phosphate from the diet so that it can pass out of your body.

Production method
Calcium acetate is obtained by the reaction between calcium carbonate and acetic acid.
Preparation method of anhydrous calcium acetate: the refined powder of calcium carbonate is added to the water, stirred into a suspension; added separately of a small amount of glacial acetic acid.
After completion of the reaction, the filtrate was concentrated in a water bath and a white solid, anhydrous calcium acetate, was precipitated from the viscous filtrate.

Calcium acetate is obtained by the neutralization between coke acid (wood acetic acid) and calcium hydroxide, followed by the evaporation of the filtrate and recrystallization.
Calcium acetate is obtained by the reaction between the reaction between acetic acid and calcium hydroxide or calcium carbonate.
Filter, concentrate and cool to obtain the dihydrate (colorless crystal), heated to 84 °C in a water salt (colorless crystal), heated to 100 °C to obtain the anhydrous salt.

Shellfish can be taken as raw materials, washed, crushed and dried for 1 h, subjecting to barbecue for 2 hour at 900~l000 ℃, then being added water to make a 1.3~1.5mol/L lime milk.
And then neutralized with acetic acid to clarify, filter with the filtrate concentrated, and finally dried at 120~140 °C to get the final product with a yield of 91.28%.
To a 20% acetic acid solution, add calcium carbonate powder to until there is no longer any CO2 gas escaping, then add a small amount of calcium carbonate, heated  80 ° C for reaction of 2-3h.
The filtrate was heated and concentrated with water bath while adding a small amount of 80% acetic acid at the same time to precipitate the calcium acetate monohydrate (what precipitated after the cooling of the solution is dihydrate), and finally dried at 60~70 ℃to derive the products.
