  2. Hygroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygroscopy

    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 ...

  3. Talk:Hygroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hygroscopy

    Under more "comfortable" conditions, it does not so it isn't considered deliquescent. So it is like relative hardness in minerals. 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.--

  4. Sodium thiocyanate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_thiocyanate

    This colorless deliquescent salt is one of the main sources of the thiocyanate anion. As such, it is used as a precursor for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other specialty chemicals . [ 2 ] Thiocyanate salts are typically prepared by the reaction of cyanide with elemental sulfur :

  5. Compressed air dryer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air_dryer

    Deliquescent dryers are used for removing water vapor from compressed air, natural gas, and waste gases such as landfill gas and digester gas. The performance of a deliquescent dryer, as measured by outlet dew point, is highly dependent on the temperature of the air or gas being processed, with cooler temperatures resulting in better performance

  6. Potassium carbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_carbonate

    Potassium carbonate is the inorganic compound with the formula K 2 C O 3.It is a white salt, which is soluble in water and forms a strongly alkaline solution. It is deliquescent, often appearing as a damp or wet solid.

  7. Sodium metasilicate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_metasilicate

    Sodium Metasilicate reacts with acids to produce silica gel. [6] Cements and Binders - dehydrated sodium metasilicate forms cement or binding agent. Pulp and Par - sizing agent and buffer/stabilizing agent when mixed with hydrogen peroxide. Soaps and Detergents - as an emulsifying and suspension agent.

  8. Superabsorbent polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superabsorbent_polymer

    Superabsorbent polymer: Polymer that can absorb and retain extremely large amounts of a liquid relative to its own mass. [5] Notes: The liquid absorbed can be water or an organic liquid. The swelling ratio of a superabsorbent polymer can reach the order of 1000:1. Superabsorbent polymers for water are frequently polyelectrolytes.

  9. Humectant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humectant

    [2] [3] This is the opposite use of a hygroscopic material where it is used as a desiccant used to draw moisture away. In pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, humectants can be used in topical dosage forms to increase the solubility of a chemical compound's active ingredients , increasing the active ingredients' ability to penetrate skin, or its ...
