Application: | Calcium chloride was used during the isolation of total β-glucan from hydrolyzed barley powders. It was also used as a cross-linker during the preparation of Aloe vera pectin gels. It may be used in the following processes: • Modification of natural zeolite to increase its ability of fluoride removal. • Synthesis of calcium sulfate whiskers utilized in making polymer reinforcing composite materials. • Synthesis of calcium chloride-anodized aluminum composites, a solid sorbent. • As an extractant in the soil analysis process. • As a catalyst in the synthesis of aldols by reacting dimethylsilyl (DMS) enolates with aldehydes. |
Caution: | may contain powder and some dark grey granules |
