- I've seen several references in the literature to the use of molecular
- sieves (presumably some sort of zeolite) as a way of temporarily
- removing water from a closed system. In one case it was to dry a
- non-aqueous liquid (fluorinert), and in another to trap moisture in a
- cooled vacuum system.
-
- I'd like some commercial sources or articles describing these uses in
- more detail, if someone is aware of them. Thanks.
