摘要
The study describes how Celite R-640 adsorbs liquid water in toluene and vapour water from a gas phase. In toluene, Celite R-640 is able to maintain the water activity (a(w)) constant within broad ranges of water concentrations. The a(w) values are strongly related to the original hydration of the Celite batches, but prolonged drying confers comparable and reproducible properties to the different batches. The use of Celite R-640 in controlling the hydration and activity of covalently immobilised PGA in toluene is reported. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
