Desiccant for HFC-32 and HFC-152A

摘要

A method for the production of a desiccant for HFC-32, HFC-152a and blended refrigerants containing HFC-32 and/or HFC-152a comprises immersing formed articles of 3A type zeolite having 20 to 60% in ion equivalent weight of its sodium ions exchanged for potassium ions in an aqueous solution of at least one member selected from the group consisting of sodium silicate and potassium silicate, thereby effecting deposition of SiO2 on the formed articles, removing the SiO2-deposited formed articles from the aqueous solution, dehydrating the wet formed articles and subsequently activating the dehydrated formed articles. Also provided is a desiccant for HFC-32, HFC-152a and blended refrigerants containing HFC-32 and/or HFC-152a produced by this method.
