Introduction:
Calcium gluconate is a mineral supplement. 10% calcium gluconate solution is the form of
calcium most widely used in the treatment of hypocalcemia. It is also used to counteract an
overdose of magnesium sulfate, which is often administered to pregnant women in order to
prophylactically prevent seizures (as in patient experiencing preeclampsia). Gel preparations of
calcium gluconate are used to treat hydrofluoric acid burns. Calcium gluconate is also used as a
cardioprotective agent in hyperkalemia.
Characters:
Occurs as white, crystalline granules or powder. It is anhydrous or contains one molecule of water
of hydration. It is stable in air. One gram dissolves slowly in about 30 mL of water at 25 0 and in
about 5 mL of boiling water. It is in soluble in alcohol and in many other organic solvents. Its
solutions are neutral to litmus.
Applications and Competitive advantages:
Applications and Competitive advantages:
1.The appearance of sodium gluconate is white crystalline granules or powder,it has a wide
range of the Polyhydroxy organic acid salt.
a.In medicine,it regulars the balance of acid-base in the human body, to restore nerve
function normaly.Sodium gluconate can also effectively prevent the occurrence of
hyponatremia syndrom.
b.As a kind of water stabilizer, sodium gluconate has excellent corrosion inhibition
effect.Such as the circulating cooling water system of petrochemical enterprise, low pressure
boiler, engine cooling water system treatment agent.
c. Sodium gluconate can be used as cleaning agent for iron and steel surface.
d. It can also clean all kinds of glass bottle.
e.In food,sodium gluconate is an important food additive, In the nutrition growth agent, food
preservation agent, quality improvement agent has wide application.
f. As a reducing agent and retarder in the construction industry. Sodium gluconate on
concrete with auxiliary plasticizing effect of cement, in adding a certain amount of sodium
gluconate, can increase the strength and plasticity of the concrete.
2.In addition, sodium gluconate readily biodegradable used in the textile industry, as one does not
produce pollution environmental friendly chelating dispersing agent.
