Silica gel is an amorphous and porous form of silicon dioxide (silica), consisting of an irregular tridimensional framework of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms with nanometer-scale voids and pores. The voids may contain water or some other liquids, or may be filled by gas or vacuum. In the last case, the material is properly called silica xerogel.
Silica xerogel is usually commercialized as coarse granules or beads, a few millimeters in diameter. Some grains may contain small amounts of indicator substance that changes color when they have absorbed some water. Small paper envelopes containing silica xerogel pellets, usually with a “do not eat” warning, are often included in dry food packages to absorb any humidity that might cause spoilage of the food.
‘Wet’ silica gel, as may be freshly prepared from alkali silicate solutions, may vary in consistency from a soft transparent gel, similar to gelatin or agar, to a hard solid, namely a water-logged xerogel. It is sometimes used in laboratory processes, for example to suppress convection in liquids or prevent settling of suspended particles.
Silica gel is a transparent, glass-like, granular particles, usually obtained by the reaction of sodium silicate and sulfuric acid, and after a series of processes such as aging and acid bubbles. Its main component is silica. As a desiccant, it has an average pore size of 2.4 nanometers and has a strong affinity for water molecules. It absorbs water through physical adsorption, does not change its state after absorbing moisture, and has a strong hygroscopic ability, which can effectively protect food or medicine from moisture.
Orange silica gel, also known as “cobalt-free color-changing silica gel”, is also an environmentally friendly desiccant and belongs to silicone products. The appearance is orange or translucent glass-like particles. It has strong moisture absorption capacity and its appearance color will produce obvious color changes with the increase of moisture absorption during the moisture absorption process.It can be used as a raw material for environmentally friendly desiccants.
Blue silica gel, also call “Color-changing silica gel ” is an indicator adsorbent with high added value and high technical content after deep processing, which is made from fine porous silica gel, a highly active adsorbent.
Blue silica gel is ideal as a primary desiccant or blended with other desiccants in any application where visual control of moisture is required. sSORB silica gel beads are saturated with a moisture indicating solution that gives them a deep blue color when dry. The color changes from blue to purple to pink as it adsorbs moisture.
Application:
Drying and cleaning of air and gases.
Drying of analytical samples.
Drying of solvents.
Drying of synthesis products.
Optical instruments and devices.
Protection of Export Consignments from moisture in salty atmosphere
Drying and storage of Flowers and Seeds
Desiccant in gas industry, dehydration and purification in Oxygen, Hydrogen and Chlorine,
In steel refinery industry and oxygen plant ,it can be used to remove ethane from oxygen. Etc
Silica Gel is also used in Dehumidifier. Desiccant Dehumidifier white silica gel is used.
Silica Gel is also used in Analysis of Chemicals.
Water filtration
Given the water adsorption properties of silica gel, it is used in domestic water filters. The surface structure of silica gel allows the adsorption of some minerals that are dissolved in the water, or “Ion-exchange” as it is marketed. Due to the lack of regulations for domestic water filtration products, no studies validate the manufacturer claims regarding the effectiveness of the filtration system.
