| Application: | Calcium chloride was used during the assay of transglutaminase (TG) activity. It was also used for of modification of calcium alginate hydrogels. 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. |
| General description: | Calcium chloride (CaCl2) is inexpensive, easily available calcium salt with a wide range of applications. It is a key component in deicers as it melts snow and ice. Reports suggest that CaCl2 helps in preserving the firmness of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables during the storage. |
