Description

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.
