General description

Calcium chloride (CaCl2) is inexpensive, easily available calcium salt with a wide range of applications.[1] It is a key component in deicers as it melts snow and ice.[2] Reports suggest that CaCl2 helps in retaining the firmness of fresh cut fruits and vegetables during the storage.[3]

Application

Calcium chloride may be used in the following processes:
  • Modification of natural zeolite to increase its ability of fluoride removal.[4]
  • Synthesis of calcium sulfate whiskers utilized in making polymer reinforcing composite materials.[5]
  • Synthesis of calcium chloride-anodized aluminum composites, a solid sorbent.[6]
  • As an extractant in the soil analysis process.[7]
  • As a catalyst in the synthesis of aldols by reacting dimethylsilyl (DMS) enolates with aldehydes.[8]
