Super hygroscopic polymer films composed of biomass and hygroscopic salts are able to condense moisture from atmospheric humidity. [16] By implementing rapid sorption-desorption kinetics and operating 14–24 cycles per day, this technique produced an equivalent water yield of 5.8–13.3 L kg −1 of sustainable raw materials, demonstrating the ...
Primary efflorescence is named such, as it typically occurs during the initial cure of a cementitious product. It often occurs on masonry construction, particularly brick, as well as some firestop mortars, when water moving through a wall or other structure, or water being driven out as a result of the heat of hydration as cement stone is being formed, brings salts to the surface that are not ...
One might consider two hygroscopic salts in a sealed chamber; the more hygroscopic one would dessicate the other. A comprehensive article would rank "deliquescent" substances by their critical humidity.--Polymath07 19:34, 7 July 2006 (UTC) Good point. Let's merge them and add an explanation of that. —Keenan Pepper 02:04, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
The following compounds are liquid at room temperature and are ... Many of them are hygroscopic. Organic compounds ... C 3 H 8 O 3: glycerol: 56-81-5 CH 3 OH ...
The air-cooler used in the hygroscopic cycle cools a liquid flow with concentrated hygroscopic compound, with an overall volumetric heat capacity much higher than the steam traditionally condensed in the air cooled condenser mentioned earlier, thus reducing the power needed for ventilation, [8] and needing less surface area for heat exchange ...
Cyclohexanol is the organic compound with the formula HOCH(CH 2) 5.The molecule is related to cyclohexane by replacement of one hydrogen atom by a hydroxyl group. [4] This compound exists as a deliquescent colorless solid with a camphor-like odor, which, when very pure, melts near room temperature.
This strongly hygroscopic white solid [2] is an intermediate in the formate potash process for the production of potassium. [3] Potassium formate has also been studied as a potential environmentally friendly deicing salt for use on roads. [4] [5] It has also been suggested for use in a less corrosive liquid desiccant. [6]
Xerochasy is dehiscence that occurs upon drying, and hygrochasy is dehiscence that occurs upon wetting, the fruit being hygroscopic. Dehiscent fruits that are derived from one carpel are follicles or legumes, and those derived from multiple carpels are capsules or siliques. [3] One example of a dehiscent fruit is the silique.
