Process for coating rice seed with calcium peroxide by chemical reaction on the seed

摘要

A process for coating rice seed with calcium peroxide whereby seeds are first coated with hydrogen peroxide by mixing and tumbling. As calcium hydroxide is added to the tumbling seed mass a chemical reaction takes place forming calcium peroxide, plus water and heat. The excess moisture and heat escapes from the seed mass as tumbling continues, resulting in a uniform coat of dry hard calcium peroxide on the seed.
