[biofuel] How to make calcium chloride?

I have read some time before that CaCl2 can be used to dry alcohols as well as esters. I am not good in chemistry, but believe that reaction of CaO and HCl can produce CaCl 2. Im my country there are many manufacturers of Cao, so I could make it quite easy. One more question. Can this salt

Calcium oxide is CaO, it will hydrate and the reaction is strongly exothermic. In sailing ship days barrels of quicklime or CaO have been known to start fires with the heat of hydration. You can make your own picnic heaters or MRE heaters with CaO. If you let the hydrated CaO sit exposed to the

Something in the corner of MY mind, where my little bit of chem-knoledge resides, tells me that CaO is not the best stuff to dry esters. Yes: CaO and HCl will produce water and CaCl2, but in a hydrated form. Probably you could dehydrate the salt (after filtering and evaporating water), by

If you live near a waste processing plant or a power plant or know someone who works there. You can get it for free i guess. Spent waste acids are neutralized with CaO thus forming CaCl2. Purity is not assured though so better check. They usually pay people to get rid of the stuff. Ken At

Another question to the group. It says in the Chemical Dictionary that CaCl2 is soluble in water and alcohol. If its soluble in both, wouldn't that contaminate the alcohol. For example drying alcohol to 200% proof. With an azeotropic point of 95%, to get rid of the 5% water, adding CaCL2 could
