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.

A significant proportion of severe familial forms of obesity remain genetically elusive. Taking advantage of our unique cohort of multigenerational obese families, we aimed to assess the contribution of rare mutations in 29 common obesity-associated genes to familial obesity, and

Mast cells are implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. However, this notion based on studies in mast cell-deficient mice is controversial. We therefore established an in vivo model for hyperactive mast cells by specifically ablating the NF-κB

White solid-state light can be generated using three different approaches: By employing three diodes that emit red, green and blue light respectively, by using a near-UV LED that excites several phosphors that emit over the complete spectral range, or the third, most widely used alternative entailing down-conversion of a portion of blue LED light to longer wavelengths in such a manner that white light emerges.
