Abstract: Presently, the most common freezing point depressants (FPDs) used for roadway winter operations are sodium chloride (NaCl), magnesium chloride, (MgCl2), calcium chloride (CaCl2), and potassium acetate (KAc). The search for “greener” materials for WRM operations is an ongoing effort. This has led to agro-based chemicals and other non-chlorides being introduced, sometimes used alone, but more commonly as additives in chloride-based products. This chapter will first present a holistic approach to the evaluation and selection of materials for WRM operations, followed by a review of recent advances in alternative deicers and additives, and conclude with a case study of developing “green” liquid deicers.
