Calcium looping example, adding Ca-looping to all coal-fired plants in the UK would generate enough waste for 33 Mtonnes/yr of cement production, whereas current cement production in the UK is only 12.5 Mtonnes/yr. Hence, if the technology is applied on a large scale, the purge rate of CaO should be optimized to minimize waste. To fully gauge the viability of calcium looping as a capture process, it is necessary to consider the political, environmental, and health effects of the process as well. Though many recent scientific reports (e.g.: the seven-wedge stabilization plan by Pacala and Socolow) convey an urgent need to deploy
Calcium lactate 75% relative humidity. Calcium lactate can be prepared by the reaction of lactic acid with calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide. Since the 19th century, the salt has been obtained industrially by fermentation of carbohydrates in the presence of calcium mineral sources such as calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide. Fermentation may produce either D or L lactate, or a racemic mixture of both, depending on the type of organism used. Calcium lactate has several uses in human and veterinary medicine. Calcium lactate is used in medicine as an antacid. Calcium lactate is also used to treat hypocalcaemia (calcium deficiencies). It can
