Application

Drierite (CaSO4) may be employed as drying agent in the following studies:
  • For the removal of water via adsorption during the gas-chromatographic estimation of methanol, ethanol and isopropanol in biological samples.
  • As scrubber for the drying of air.
  • For the drying of nitrile samples during the calorimetric estimation of their enthalpies of vaporization.
  • For the removal of water vapor during the coulometric estimation of carbon dioxide for air pollution monitoring.
