How to deal with desiccant heating

Introduction: desiccant will heat when it meets water, so how to deal with the heat of desiccant? Introduce to you through the small edition of Baibai safety net Many desiccants will have heat when encountering water Many people are worried about whether there will be any harm and don't know how to deal with it Then how to deal with the heat of desiccant? Through the detailed explanation given by the staff of Baibai safety net, I hope you can better understand the little knowledge of these food additives When the desiccant absorbs water, the chemical reaction will give off heat Because there are only two kinds of chemical reactions in nature, one is endothermic (it can't be spontaneous, and the reaction needs heating device), the other is exothermic (it can be spontaneous) For example, the main component of quick lime desiccant is calcium oxide, which reacts with water to generate calcium hydroxide (absorbs water to protect laver from moisture) This reaction is exothermic, so it will generate heat As long as it is not touched by hand, it will not hurt the skin, and the heat will dissipate quickly, so we do not need to worry about it, and it will not cause harm It's a normal reaction to know whether the desiccant is hot or not There are a lot of food safety knowledge in Baibai safety net You can have a good understanding, such as how to do with children's eating the desiccant by mistake and the knowledge of food safety detector Editor in charge: he xianrob
