  • Publication number: 20090114876
    Abstract: An antifreeze composition comprising one or more metal chlorides, in particular, calcium chloride and magnesium chloride, and a solution having an alkaline pH in which at least one of the following ions is dissolved: Bromide (Br?), Bicarbonate (HCO3?), Borate (BO33?), Silicate (SiO3?), Fluoride (F?), Iodine (I?). this composition is capable of providing an effective antifreeze action, for example on roads, airstrips and vehicle windows, also in conditions of extremely cool temperatures. In fact, the composition remains in the liquid state even at very low temperature reducing, in particular, the environmental impact with respect to the solutions of prior art. This is possible because the interaction existing between a metal bivalent ion 10, such as Ca2+, or Mg2+, and a chloride ion (Cl?) 20, in the antifreeze composition brings the ions at a high balancing distance “R”. This is due to the presence of at least one weak ion 15, for example Bicarbonate (HCO3?), Borate (BO33?), Iodine (I?), Fluoride (F?), etc.

  • Patent number: 6048569
    Abstract: A comestible liquid sea salt preparation and method for producing the same. The comestible preparation is produced from sea water and is low in sodium, about 9.8 wt %, therefore making it suitable for consumption by persons having cardiac disorders, arterial hypertension, renal disorders, endemias and the like. Even though the amount of sodium is reduced the preparation is able to maintain a suitable gustatory sensation, making it an advantageous substitute for regular table salt. The method for producing the preparation involves a series of steps in which sea water is decanted, evaporated, converted into a spray; and concentrated. The preparation also undergoes a micro plankton regulation step and sodium chloride is added to the resulting preparation so that the concentration of sodium chloride is 25 percent of the total preparation.
