PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURING OF CALCIUM CHLORIDE Grades 1) anhydrous 2) dehydrate 3) hexahydrate. CaCl2 CaCl2.2H2O CaCl2.

6H2O 1) Raw materials a) Limestone (calcium carbonate) source from mining of limestone (solid lumps) CaCO3 HCl b) Hydrochloric acid (30%) solution in water (liquid state) Byproduct of chlorination plants By product of chloroalkali plants c) Calcium hydroxide From manufacturer (solid powder) Ca (OH)2 2) Reaction 1) CO2 Molecular weight kgs 44 2 Molecular weight kgs 3 Molecular we ight CaCO 3+ 2HCl -------

CaCl2 + H2O + 100 2* 36.5 110.99 18 CO 2 44 + Ca (OH)2 74.09 + 2 HCL 2* 36.5 ----- CaCO3 100 + H2O 18 Ca(OH) 2 74.09 ----- CaCl2 + 2 H2O 110.99 2*18 3) Process description:a) Hydrochloric acid is charged into a acid proof brick l ined tank b) Lime stone/ calcium hydroxide is then charged slowly into the tank over a per iod of 5 to

6 hrs c) the whole tank content is kept for reaction for 15 to 20 hrs till all t he acid is consumed d) the Ph of the reaction mass is adjusted to 7.5 to 8.0 usi ng calcium hydroxide e) the reacted mass is then transferred to the settling tanks f) the settled reaction solution is then siphoned into a other collection tank 1

g) the unreacted solid from the settling tank is again recycled to the reaction tank h) the clear reacted solution in the collection tank is then filtered throu gh filter press for i) polishing the solution the filtered calcium chloride solution is then send to the evaporation vessels where the water is evaporated and the solid calcium chl oride recovered it is dryed in the dryer . the calcium chloride is then pulveriz ed to the desired size and packed. j) 4) Polution abatement Unreacted solids are recycled so there is no solid waste p roduction The reaction produces carbon dioxide which is scrubbed into lime / amm onia solution So gases are taken care of The product is non toxic VENT air 5) Process flow chart:Ca(OH)2 Ca(OH) 2/CaCO3 HCl water CaCO 3 slurry unreacted solid recycle 2
