60 40-63µm silica gel is a specific grade of silica gel, which is a porous and granular form of silicon dioxide. Silica gel is synthesized by various methods, including the reaction of sodium silicate with an acid or by the hydrolysis of silicon alkoxide compounds. It is then processed into different particle sizes for specific applications.
The term "60" in 60 40-63µm silica gel refers to the mesh size, indicating the number of openings per linear inch. In this case, it implies that there are approximately 60 openings per inch. The particle size range of 40-63µm indicates that the silica gel particles have a diameter between 40 and 63 micrometers.
Silica gel has a highly porous structure with a large surface area, allowing it to adsorb and hold moisture or other substances. It is commonly used as a desiccant to remove moisture from the air in packaging or storage applications. Silica gel can also be used for chromatography, as a stationary phase for separating and purifying various compounds based on their interaction with the gel's surface.
