Hi fellow helpful bees,
SWIX has found out that there are 5 common solid drying agents(not limiting to these 5, there are more):
1) calcium chloride, CaCl2
2) calcium sulfate, CaSO4 (Drierite)
3) magnesium sulfate, MgSO4
4) potassium carbonate, K2CO3
5) sodium sulfate, Na2SO4
There are more, can be found from Aldrich.
SWIX has some questions for drying agent, which would bee used in some dream containing reductive amination. As SWIX has seen a lot of bees mentioned magnesium sulfate, MgSO4 as the drying agent, for getting rid of water in their dreams. Eg 91% IPA to 99.9% IPA, Improved "wet" reductive alkylation by Barium, etc....
SWIX has OTC and cheap source of calcium chloride, CaCl2, can it be used in those dreams? Although SWIX has obtained some Silica gel, CaCL2 price for SWIX is a quater of Silica gel. Can any bee help? Thanks in advance fellow bees:)
