Introduction of Silica Gel

• Silica Gel is Granular,Vitreous,Porous from of
  Silicon Dioxide made Synthetically from
  Sodiumsilicate.
• Silica Gel contains a nano-porous Silica
  micro-structure, suspended inside a liquid.
• Most applications of silica gel require it to be
  dried, in which case it is called silica xerogel.
• Silica xerogel is tough and hard.
• As a desiccant, it has an average Poresize of 2.4
  nanometers and has a strong affinity for water
  molecules.
• Silica Gel is most commonly encountered in
  everyday life as beads in a small (typically 2 x
  3cm) paper packet.
• In this from, it is used as a desiccant to
  control local humidity to avoid spoilage or
  degradation of some goods.
• Silica gel packets usually bear warning for the
  user not to eat contents.

HISTORY

• silica gel was in existence as early as the 1640s
  as a scientific curiosity.
• It was used in World War I for the adsorption of
  vapours and gases in gas mask canisters.
• The synthetic route for producing silica gel was
  patented by chemistry professor Walter A. Patrick
  at Johns Hopkins University in 1918.
• In World War II, silica gel was indispensable in
  the war effort for keeping penicillin dry,
  protecting military equipment from moisture
  damage.
• as a fluid cracking catalyst for the production
  of high octane gasoline, and as a catalyst
  support for the manufacture of butadiene from
  ethanol, feedstock for the synthetic rubber
  program.

Slica Gel White
The silica gel white is a natural desiccant that
is produced from Silicon Dioxide after the
application of certain synthetic processes.
Non-Indicating Type Silica Gel Desiccant
9
Silica Gel Blue
Silica gel blue is another option for controlling
moisture which is obtains cobalt chloride in it
also known as self-indicating type of silica
gel. We can identify silica gel being full of
moisture which can absorb a big amount of water
from internal surface area.
