The principle of water absorption of water-absorbing material is described in detail.
Physical water absorption is similar to a molecular sieve, which uses cavities to adsorb. Therefore, the ability to adsorb depends on the average radius of the cavity, and the adsorption capacity is positively related to the specific surface area.
Therefore, the disadvantages of this physical water absorption are obvious: the water cannot be effectively locked after water absorption, and the water absorption is limited.
The water-absorbing materials in this way are Cotton, Toilet paper, Sponge, and Activated carbon.
Chemical water-absorbing materials use the material itself to chemically react with water to absorb water.
It is characterized by fast water absorption, and usually cannot be used again after water absorption.
The water-absorbing materials in this way are Calcium Oxide, Anhydrous calcium chloride, and Soda-lime.
Polymer absorbent material is an advanced physical absorbent material (using a combination of physical and chemical methods to absorb water). Water absorption is achieved through the principle of high concentration of hydrophilic groups and molecular sieves. This method uses chemical properties, but no chemical reaction occurs, so it can repeatedly absorb water after the improvement.
The water-absorbing materials in this way are including polyvinyl alcohol, sodium polyacrylate, and potassium polyacrylate, etc.
The Top 3 Water Absorbing Materials in 2023.
The water absorption rate can be about 35% of its own weight.
Calcium oxide is usually formed by the thermal decomposition of materials (such as limestone or shells) containing calcium carbonate CaCO3 in the lime kiln.
Calcium oxide is an alkaline oxide, and it reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide (slaked lime). This violent reaction emits a lot of heat and can even make water boil.
Calcium oxide has a high affinity for water and is a more effective desiccant than silica gel. The reaction of calcium oxide with water is related to an increase in its volume by at least 2.5 times.
The water absorption rate can reach more than 300% of its own weight.
The main raw materials of calcium chloride desiccant are high-quality calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid, which are refined by reaction synthesis, filtration, evaporation concentration, and drying process.
Calcium chloride dehumidifier has the functions of adsorption activity, static dehumidification, and deodorization. Not only the adsorption speed is fast, the adsorption capacity is high, but it is also non-toxic, odorless, non-contact corrosion, and non-environmental pollution. Especially for the human body, it is widely used in oil seals, optical drugs, Health food, and military products.
Calcium chloride has the physical properties of high-solubility liquor, high-solubility heat, and strong hygroscopicity. It can only combine with crystal water and can absorb a lot of moisture. So the raw material of calcium chloride desiccant is made of calcium chloride.
Application range: Used for soda ash production. Anhydrous calcium chloride particles are commonly used as desiccants to fill the drying tube. Calcium chloride to dry macroalgae (or seaweed ash) can be used for soda ash production. Household dehumidifiers: Some household dehumidifiers use calcium chloride to absorb moisture in the air. Dryer or dehydrator for gases and organic liquids: Calcium chloride can also be used as a desiccant or dehydrator for gases and organic liquids.
Because calcium chloride is neutral, it can dry acidic or alkaline gases and organic liquids, and can also produce a small amount of gas in the laboratory, such as nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, hydrogen chloride, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, etc. Used for bandage first aid: Anhydrous calcium chloride as a water-absorbing agent has been approved by FDA for bandage first aid, and its role is to ensure that the wound is dry.
Sodium polyacrylate is a functional polymer material. It can absorb water up to several hundred times its own weight. As an important absorbent material, SAP is applied to every aspect of our lives.

High absorption.
The water absorption (purified water) of conventional sodium polyacrylate is hundreds of times that of its own, and the improved product can reach thousands of times.
Adjustable water absorption speed.
Through post-processing in the production process, the water absorption speed of the finished product can be controlled according to the purpose. When used as an external water-stop material for cables, sodium polyacrylate can absorb water and swell very quickly, effectively preventing water from entering the inside of the cable.
Gentle material.
Sodium polyacrylate does not generate heat or produce toxic substances during the entire process of absorbing water and can be decomposed in the natural environment.
As we see, Sodium polyacrylate is an amazing material. It can be applied to all aspects of life to absorb & hold water.
