Calcium chloride desiccant has a wide range of applications due to its good safety.
In terms of moisture absorption, calcium chloride desiccant has an excellent effect, which can effectively absorb moisture from the air and keep the environment dry. So, what is the principle of calcium chloride desiccant?
Firstly, calcium chloride is an inorganic salt with strong hygroscopicity. It can react chemically with water molecules to form hydrates of calcium chloride. This hydrate has strong hygroscopicity and can absorb moisture from the air, thereby keeping the environment dry.
Secondly, the principle of calcium chloride desiccant is based on the effects of physical adsorption and chemical adsorption. In terms of physical adsorption, the surface of calcium chloride desiccant has many micropores and micro cracks, which can adsorb water molecules in the air and attach them to the surface of the desiccant. In terms of chemical adsorption, calcium chloride can react with water molecules to form hydrates, thereby absorbing water.
