Description

Application

Calcium chloride was used during the isolation of total β-glucan from hydrolyzed barley powders.[1] 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.
