General description

Calcium chloride is an inorganic compound widely used in desiccators, catalysis, and thermal storage applications. It has the following properties:
  • Higher thermal conductivity
  • Chemical and thermal stability
  • Non-toxic and less corrosive

Application

Calcium chloride can be used:
  • As electrolyte in the reduction of solid zirconium dioxide by electro-deoxidation.
  • A raw material to prepare composite adsorbent(activated carbon/silica gel/CaCl2) for cooling and dehumidification system.
  • As a catalyst to synthesize tetrahydropyranyl ethers via tetrahydropyranylation of alcohols and phenols.
