Calcium Chloride Flake is a purified inorganic salt produced by removing water from a naturally occurring brine solution. Unlike other processes used to produce calcium chloride, the brine process does not involve reactions with chemicals such as hydrochloric acid or ammonia. The National Organic Standards Board noted this distinction when it classified the brine process as “non-synthetic.”
The physical form or shape of caustic soda pearls and caustic soda flakes is the most significant distinction. Caustic soda pearls are granular, whereas caustic soda flakes are lamellar. This means that caustic soda pearls look very similar to fish eggs or caviar, while caustic soda flakes look like small flakes.
Ethyl alcohol is used to make alcoholic beverages, for example wine, beer and liquor. Ethyl alcohol can also be used as a solvent.
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is commonly used for the neutralization of alkaline agents, as a bleaching agent, in food, textile, metal, and rubber industries. It is neutralized if released into the soil and it rapidly hydrolyzes when exposed to water.
Nitric acid is used for the production of ammonium nitrate, a major component of fertilizers. It is also used for producing explosives like nitroglycerin and trinitrotoluene (TNT) and for oxidizing metals.
Phosphoric acid is a component of fertilizers (80% of total use), detergents, and many household cleaning products. Dilute solutions have a pleasing acid taste; thus, it’s also used as a food additive, lending acidic properties to soft drinks and other prepared foods, and in water treatment products.
It is an odorless powder which is not toxic, flammable, and explosive. Soda ash is available in three different grades namely dense soda ash, light soda ash, and washing soda. Dense soda ash is an anhydrous substance mostly used in the manufacturing of industrial chemicals.
In various concentrations the acid is used in the manufacture of fertilizers, pigments, dyes, drugs, explosives, detergents, and inorganic salts and acids, as well as in petroleum refining and metallurgical processes.
