I have some silica gel which is washed and sitting in a dessicator bag with NaOH. I had put in NaSO4 anhydrous but that did not seem to absorb
anything. I have a reference which advises sodium and calcium sulphate to be used to dry acidic products. Having never made this before has anybody
else any tips for drying?forgottenpassword - 3-4-2014 at 09:33
Dry it in an oven at 110 C.CHRIS25 - 3-4-2014 at 09:49

Yep, that's why silica gel is so useful.CHRIS25 - 3-4-2014 at 11:26
I am aware that you can do this from the beads that you find in
the packets. But I could not find any information about how one would dry the synthetic precipitated silica that I recently made, just thought
perhaps that the oven was not appropriate at this stage that's all.Zyklon-A - 3-4-2014 at 19:14
