Major uses Potassium chloride (KCl) is inorganic salt used for making fertilizers, since the growth of many plants is limited by their potassium intake. Potassium in plants is important for the osmotic and ionic regulation, plays a key role in the water homeostasis and is closely connected with processes involved in the protein synthesis. KCl is also used for the manufacture of potassium hydrox...

Introduction Chloride is the most important anion associated with sodium in the extra cellular fluid with a normal concentration ranging from 96 to 106 (1). The complete interpretation of acid-base disorders is impossible without knowing the serum chloride concentration (2). In the process of quantitative acid-base analysis, plasma pH is determined by three independent variables: pCO2, total co...

The Baylis-Hillman reactions of various aryl aldehydes with methyl vinyl ketone at temperatures below -20C using Lewis acids such as titanium (IV) chloride, boron (III) chloride or zirconium (IV) chloride in the presence of a catalytic amount of selected amines used as a Lewis bases afford the chlorinated compounds 1 as the major product in very high yields. Acrylonitrile can also undergo the s...

1. Micropuncture studies of chloride and bicarbonate absorption in the proximal tubule under free flow conditions were performed during exposure to 12% COz in air, during recovery from COz on a low chloride diet with and without concomitant sodium restriction, and during re-exposure to 12% COz in air with continuing chloride restriction. 2. After 3 hr of exposure to COz there was a significant ...
