Used as a drying agent due to its strong hygroscopic nature, making it effective in controlling moisture in industrial and laboratory settings. Commonly applied in dust control on roads and construction sites, where it helps bind fine particles and reduce airborne dust. Utilized in concrete acceleration, shortening setting time and improving early strength development in cold weather. Employed in food processing as a firming agent for canned vegetables and in sports drinks to replenish electrolytes. Also used in refrigeration systems and cooling baths as a secondary refrigerant due to its ability to lower the freezing point of water. In oil and gas operations, added to drilling fluids to stabilize clay formations and control wellbore pressure.
