Calcium chloride is a salt composed of chlorine and calcium, with the chemical formula CaCl₂. It has a bitter taste and is odorless. As a typical ionic halide compound, it appears as white hard lumps or granules at room temperature. It is widely used in refrigeration systems, brine solutions, road deicers and desiccants.
Anhydrous calcium chloride must be stored in sealed containers, for it readily absorbs moisture from the air and is prone to deliquescence. Calcium chloride, along with its hydrates and aqueous solutions, boasts important application value in food production, building materials, medicine and biology.
Calcium chloride features strong ammonia adsorption capacity and low desorption temperature, showing promising application prospects in the adsorption and separation of synthetic ammonia. However, pure calcium chloride hardly forms porous structures, resulting in a small contact area with ammonia. It also tends to expand and cause blockage during adsorption and desorption processes, which limits its practical application.
Loading calcium chloride onto high-specific-surface-area carriers can greatly increase its contact area with ammonia. Relevant studies have proven that composite adsorbents prepared by incorporating calcium chloride into molecular sieves deliver superior adsorption performance and stability compared with single-component adsorbents.
Storage Instructions for Calcium Chloride
Special requirements apply to the storage of this chemical. Calcium chloride shall be kept in a dry, cool and well-ventilated warehouse. Keep it away from fire sources and heat, and ensure all containers are tightly sealed. It must be stored separately from ethers and borides.
Lighting, ventilation and other facilities inside the warehouse shall be explosion-proof, with switches installed outside the storage area. Equip the premises with fire-fighting appliances of appropriate types and quantities. Avoid using mechanical equipment and devices that may generate sparks. Wear personal protective equipment during handling and transportation, and handle the product gently to prevent damage.
