2. Road salt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_salt

   Road salt (also known as de-icing salt or snow salt) is a salt used mainly as an anti-slip agent in winter road conditions, but also to prevent dust and snow build-up on roads. [1] Various kinds of salts are used as road salt, but calcium chloride and sodium chloride (rock salt) are among the most common.

   Many ice melt products are made of calcium chloride or magnesium chloride, both of which are less toxic to plants and animals. They are also more effective than rock salt at lower temperatures.

4. Calcium chloride - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_chloride

   Calcium chloride is a highly soluble calcium salt. Hexahydrate calcium chloride (CaCl 2 ·6H 2 O) has solubility in water of 811 g/L at 25 °C. [1] Calcium chloride when taken orally completely dissociates into calcium ions (Ca 2+) in the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in readily bioavailable calcium. The high concentration of calcium ions ...

5. Snow removal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_removal

   Verglimit incorporates calcium chloride granules into asphalt pavement. The granules are continually exposed by traffic wear, and release calcium chloride onto the surface. This prevents snow and ice from sticking to the pavement [ 5 ] Cargill SafeLane is a proprietary pavement surface treatment that absorbs anti-icing brines, to be released ...

6. Sea salt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_salt

   These are mostly calcium, potassium, and magnesium salts of chloride and sulfate with substantially lesser amounts of many trace elements found in natural seawater. Though the composition of commercially available salt may vary, the ionic composition of natural saltwater is relatively constant. [3]

7. Halite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halite

   Using salt brine is more effective than spreading dry salt because moisture is necessary for the freezing-point depression to work and wet salt sticks to the roads better. Otherwise the salt can be wiped away by traffic. [18] In addition to de-icing, rock salt is occasionally used in agriculture.
