Chloride Chemicals

• Extensively used in oil and gas industry as a part of mud chemicalm or completion fluid
• Used as an ice-melting compound
• Raw material for cement paint manufacturing
• Calcium chloride can also be used as a dehumidifier/ drying agent
• Use as an additive in plastics
• A drainage aid for wastewater treatment
• An additive in fire extinguishers
• An additive in control scaffolding in blast furnaces
• As a thinner in fabric softener
• An electrolyte
• A food preservative
• It is even found in snack foods, to retard freezing of the caramel in cold conditions
• It can be used to make a substitute to restore the natural balance between calcium and protein for the purposes of making cheese

Poly Aluminum chloride (PAC) is increasingly used for water treatment. Against the conventional use of aluminum sulphate (alum) it is showing distinct advantages.

Application:

• Polyaluminium chlorides are synthetic polymers dissolved in water. They react to form insoluble aluminium poly-hydroxides which precipitate in big volumetric flocs.The flocs absorb suspended pollutants in the water which are precipitated with the PAC and can together be easily removed.
• PAC can be used as a flocculant for all types of water treatment treatment, drinking water, industrial waste water, urban waste water and in the paper industry.

The possible slightly higher unit price of PAC is compensated by:

• Lower dosage requirement
• No requirement for any neutralising agent (soda, lime)
• Shorter flocculation time
• Smaller amount of sludge
• Reduced number of back washing steps
• Higher quality of the treated water

• Zinc chloride finds wide application in textile processing, metallurgical fluxes, and chemical synthesis.
• ZnCl2 is used as a fireproofing agent and in fabric "refresheners" such as Febreze.
• Zinc chloride has the ability to attack metal oxides to give derivatives of the formula MZnOCl2. This is relevant to the utility of ZnCl2 as a flux for soldering.
• Zinc chloride finds wide use, principally as a moderate-strength for Lewis acid.
• Preservation of Timber with zinc chloride by the steeping process.

Applications:

• Purify drinking water, sewage.
• Industrial water purification, industrial wastewater, mining, oil field injection water, making water purification, metallurgy, coal washing, leather and all kinds of chemical waste water treatment.
• Industrial application; paper sizing, printing dyeing, Cement accelerating agent, hardener precision casting, refractory adhesive, refined, sugar refining, wrinkle-free cloth, medicine, cosmetics and other industries, waste water can be recycled use
• In the oil refining industry, for oil and water separation

• Purification of brine solution in caustic chlorine plants
• Manufacture of heat treatment salts
• Case hardening of steel
• Manufacture of pigments
• Manufacture of other barium salts
• In industry barium chloride is mainly used in the purification of
• brine solution in caustic chlorine plants.
• Used in the manufacture of heat treatment salts.
• Used in case hardening of steel
• Used in the manufacture of pigments
• Used in the manufacture of other barium salts
• Used in fireworks to give a bright green color.
