Cheryl, silica gel is used to absorb moisture in many different products, and is usually packaged in plastic cylinders or paper packets. You’ve probably seen those little packets that say

Both buffered silica gel and saturated salt solutions can be used to regulate relative humidity in display cases, but these two methods for climate control work on entirely different principles.

Estimating the Amount of Silica Gel Buffer Needed The display case buffer should not need servicing more than once a year. In a northern temperature climate, within a non- humidified building

With all humidity buffering systems, we are confronted with the problem of moving the conditioned air to the artifacts on display. The saturated salt solution will actually maintain the RH perfectly only within the tub.

Silica gels, composed of solid micro-porous silica beads, are typically used as a desiccant. The numerous, interlocking pores on the beads work by creating a lower vapor pressure than the surrounding air

Have you ever noticed those little packets inside shoe boxes and coat pockets, and the little packets are labeled with the warning “Do Not Eat?” It’s comical to think that someone old enough to know how to read would consider eating the

narrow particle size distribution results in separations 25%-30% faster than with most other TLC plates. Separated spots are more compact and better resolved, which allows visualization at lower sample levels. The enhanced abrasion

Since W.W.II, Silica Gel has been the desiccant of choice by government and industry for use within enclosed storage areas. Requiring no electricity, Silica Gel is in the form of chemically inert granules which are nontoxic and safe to use with
Detail>>

Transparent silica gel–polymer composites have been prepared by the impregnation of porous gels with organic monomer and polymerization in situ. The relative amount of each phase was adjusted by varying the porosity of the silica

A few weeks ago I found a packet of silica gel in a pair of shoes. It said on the pack “Silica Gel - THROW AWAY” That’s not much good for a family on a mission to put nothing into landfill this year!

Ever find those little white packets that say “throw away” and “Do Not Eat”? They are silica gel beads and they absorb like 60% of their mass in water. But, When they are dropped in water, they tend to absorb too much water. This causes them

The reactions between tritium gas and organic substrates sorbed on irradiated silica gel have been studied. It has been found that tritium gas, when admitted to gamma-irradiated silica gel, is adsorbed on radiation-induced sites on the solid and
