CONT

Les déshydratants sont des produits avides de vapeur d'eau. Il en existe deux catégories : les absorbants, qui agissent par voie chimique; les adsorbants, qui agissent par voie physique. Les absorbants, qu'ils soient liquides (acide sulfurique concentré) ou solides (anhydride phosphorique, chlorure de calcium), sont utilisés dans des installations industrielles appropriées.
