As we all know, we usually carry a small bag of food desiccant in the food packaging bag we buy. Normally, everyone will throw it into the dustbin; When people with strong curiosity will tear open to see what is inside. In fact, they are full of bags and small beads. Take one of them, hard, blue or white - this is silica gel desiccant.

Silicon dioxide is the main component of silica gel desiccant, which belongs to a kind of highly active adsorption material. It is purified and processed into granular or bead form from natural minerals. Silica has a spongy porous structure and numerous holes can be used to absorb water. This is why silica gel desiccant will choose silica as raw material for production.
However, is the function of silica gel desiccant limited to the function of adsorbing water? Does it make the best use of food as long as it keeps the food dry? In fact, it is not. The function of silica gel desiccant is not limited to this.
Japanese chemical experts once pointed out that when planting flowers and trees, pour out the silica gel desiccant and mix it into the soil, which can be used as fertilizer. In fact, silica gel fertilizer has long been sold on the market. Silica gel, the main component of silica gel, has the effect of promoting plant photosynthesis. Silica gel fertilizer is especially effective in rice cultivation. In addition to being used as fertilizer, fresh flowers together with silica gel desiccant can be put into bags for a period of time to make bright colored dry flowers; Of course, the weight of a small bag is certainly not enough. You have to put more bags.
In addition, I tell you that food desiccant can not be reused, and there is no moisture absorption effect when it is used again. Except for recycled materials, which can only be used after professional drying and processing, and the moisture absorption rate of recycled materials is far lower than that of brand-new materials.
