Used as a drying agent due to its strong hygroscopic nature, effectively absorbing moisture from the air and making it ideal for dehumidification in industrial and laboratory settings. Commonly applied in dust control on roads and construction sites, where it helps to bind fine particles and reduce airborne dust. Employed in concrete acceleration, shortening setting time and enhancing early strength development in cold weather conditions. Utilized 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 due to its ability to lower the freezing point of water, enabling efficient temperature control. In oil and gas operations, added to drilling fluids to stabilize clay formations and improve wellbore integrity.
