Application scenarios of industrial calcium chloride

Industrial calcium chloride is an important chemical raw material, which is widely used in many fields. The following are some common application scenarios:

Road de - icing agent: Calcium chloride is hygroscopic and can lower the freezing point of water, making snow easier to melt. In winter, it is often used for snow - melting and de - icing on roads, parking lots, airport runways and other places to ensure traffic safety and smooth roads.

Desiccant: Due to its strong hygroscopicity, it can be used as a desiccant to dry various gases and liquids. For example, in industrial production, it is used to dry gases such as nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen, and to remove water in the processes of petroleum refining and natural gas treatment.

Construction industry: Adding calcium chloride to concrete can accelerate the setting speed of concrete, improve the strength and durability of concrete, especially suitable for winter construction. In addition, it can also be used for the moisture - proof treatment of building materials.

Sewage treatment: It can help remove impurities such as phosphates and fluorides in sewage. Through chemical reactions, insoluble precipitates are formed, thus achieving the purpose of purifying water quality.

Oil drilling: In the process of oil exploitation, calcium chloride solution can be used to prepare drilling fluid, which plays a role in stabilizing the wellbore and preventing collapse. At the same time, it can also adjust the density and viscosity of the drilling fluid to improve the drilling efficiency.

Electronics industry: It is used in the electroplating and electrolysis processes in the electronics industry as an electrolyte or additive, which helps to improve the electroplating quality and efficiency.

Metallurgical industry: In the process of metal smelting, calcium chloride can be used as a flux to lower the melting point, promote the melting and separation of metals, and improve the smelting efficiency and metal quality.

Paper industry: It is used for paper sizing, which can improve the strength and water resistance of paper and make the paper more tough and durable.
