2. Silica gel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silica_gel

   However, material silica gel removes moisture by adsorption onto the surface of its numerous pores rather than by absorption into the bulk of the gel. Silica gel is able to adsorb up to 37% of its own weight in moisture in high-humidity environments. [7] This moisture can be released upon heating at about 120 °C (248 °F) [8] [7] for 1–2 ...

3. Desiccant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desiccant

   Silica gel in a sachet or porous packet. A desiccant is a hygroscopic substance that is used to induce or sustain a state of dryness (desiccation) in its vicinity; it is the opposite of a humectant. Commonly encountered pre-packaged desiccants are solids that absorb water. Desiccants for specialized purposes may be in forms other than solid ...

4. Humidity buffering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidity_buffering

   Silica gel is widely used to buffer relative humidity inside museum display cases, packaged clothing, electronics and anything that might be damaged by condensation, or in the example of museum display cases, being too low an RH (relative humidity) as the silica will help protect the objects displayed from mechanical damage due to shrinking and ...

5. Desiccator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desiccator

   The lower compartment of the desiccator contains lumps of silica gel, freshly calcined quicklime, Drierite, molecular sieves, phosphorus pentoxide, (not as effective) anhydrous calcium chloride, or other desiccant to absorb water vapor. The substance needing desiccation is put in the upper compartment, usually on a glazed, perforated ceramic plate.

6. Moisture sorption isotherm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_sorption_isotherm

   Normally, materials hold less moisture when they are hotter, and more moisture when they are colder. Occasionally, a set of isotherms are provided on one graph that shows each curve at a different temperature. Such a set of adsorption isotherms is provided in Figure 3 as measured by Dini on a Type V silica gel. [4] Figure 3. Type V Isotherm ...
