Concentrated CaCl2 and CaBr2 salt solutions of densities up to 2.3 kg L-1 are regularly used to control hydrostatic pressure in oil wells during special operations in the exploration and production of natural gas and crude oil. Various concentrations of high density salts are frequently left in mud pits near the drilling site as waste, polluting fresh and ground waters by spillage and drainage....

UNLABELLED The effects of calcium chloride (CaCl2 ) and calcium lactate on maintaining textural and sensory quality of fresh-cut "Kent" and "Tommy Atkins" mangos and determination of treatments preferred by consumers were investigated. Mango cubes (1.5 × 1.5 × 1.5 cm) were subjected to different CaCl2 and calcium lactate concentrations (0 M, 0.068 M, 0.136 M, 0.204 M) and dip times (0, 1, 2.5, ...

The objectives of these experiments were to determine 1) the most effective vitamin C concentration to stabilize color of beef cuts during retail display and 2) the effect on color of incorporating vitamin C into a calcium chloride (CaCl2) injection solution. Top round cuts (semimembranosus and adductor) were injected with 5% by weight of a 0, .25, .5, 1, 2, or 4% sodium ascorbate solution (Exp...

phosphorus solubilizing microorganisms are capable of transforming insoluble phosphorus (p) forms to soluble and bioavailable p. the aim of the present study was to isolate p solubilizing bacteria from forest soils around the rock phosphate (rp) mine of koh-e-sepidlar in kohgiluyeh and boyer ahmad province and evaluate their ability in sperber culture medium and wheat straw medium in the presen...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the storage life and quality of persimmon (diospyros kaki thunb.) fruit cv. ‘karaj’ stored at 0°c for 4 months after postharvest calcium chloride treatment. fruit weight loss, fruit firmness, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, total phenolic content, soluble tannin content, chilling injury, antioxidant activity, electrolyte leakage, and malondi...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway on thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) development. The study used a calcium chloride (CaCl2)‑induced rat TAA model to explore the potential role of mTOR signaling pathway in the disease development. Adult male Sprague‑Dawley rats underwent the periarterial exposure of thoracic ao...

Glycosaminoglycans (GAG) of bovine cornea were sequentially extracted by 0.15 M NaCl and by 1 M CaCl2, pH 8. The amounts of hexosamine (HexN) and hexuronic acid (HexUA), specific hexoses (Hex), and protein were determined in the extracts. The ultrastructure of the corneal stroma after NaCl and NaCl/CaCl2 extraction was also studied. Approximately 70% of the Hex-HexN extractable by 0.15 M NaCl i...

The influence of CaCl2 and borax on growth, yield, and quality of tomato was investigated during the years 2009 and 2010. The experiment was laid out with a randomized complete block design. Calcium chloride (0.3% and 0.6%) and borax (0.2% and 0.4%) solutions were applied as foliar sprays either alone or in combination and data were recorded for plant height, branches per plant, flowers per clu...
