Technical Document

Brief Overview

Calcium Chloride, first discovered by an English chemist Sir Humphrey Davy (1778-1829) in 1808, has the molecular formula CaCl₂ and is a deliquescent salt that occurs in seawater. It is also known as the common salt and it is crystalline, lumpy, or flaky in nature. It is white in color and is hygroscopic. Hence, one of the chief commercial uses of Calcium Chloride is the de-icing and dust control on the roads. It exists in many forms such as dehydrate, monohydrate, and hexahydrate forms. Other commercial uses include refrigerant, preservative, and for controlling dust and ice on roads.
Manufacturing Process

Limestone can be used to produce Calcium chloride directly, but it can be produced as a byproduct of the Solvay process in large quantity too.
