Are environmental desiccants really environmentally friendly? Are they harmful?

Popularity:276 Time:2021-10-22 11:00:07
Many people think of environmental protection when they mention desiccant. As long as they hear the name, they think it is a green product, but is it really environmentally friendly and harmless to humans? Let’s discuss with the editor of Mingwei Industry:


Desiccant refers to substances that can remove moisture from moist substances, such as calcium sulfate and calcium chloride, and are dried by combining with water to form hydrates. Calcium oxide desiccant is a white powder. It will heat up when exposed to water and will burn human skin. Do not get into eyes. The rest should not be polluted. Physical desiccants are dried by physically adsorbing water, such as silica gel and activated alumina. If you truly meet the requirements of environmental protection, you must first know what your desiccant is, environmentally friendly desiccant or montmorillonite clay desiccant, molecular sieve desiccant, fiber desiccant and so on. Some desiccants react with air moisture at room temperature after being discarded to produce products that are environmentally friendly and have no secondary pollution. Some desiccants are placed for a long time and are not easy to react or the reaction products will pollute the environment. This depends on the specific product to understand.
