1 pound to 10 gallons?
Negative. It’s in relation to the non-indicating i.e. 1lb indicating for every 10lbs non-indicating. As for the proportion of sieve beads to material, it largely depends on the pore size and how much water is in your solvent stream.

A vacuum oven is required to actually remove all the water from mol sieve.

Has anyone tried drying the sieves in a freeze dryer? I have one in my lab and thought that may work. Thoughts?

I’ve used a house oven a bunch
@McPhet I’d just use a regular oven
the stuff i got off amazon gets hot in my hand if i add water. That means it works i think im talking just a few pebbles and yes it reacts and does it over and over with drying. I dont vac dry it just a low temp oven.

I make a Tin foil boat to wrap it in so the powders aren’t exposed
Not sure if a freeze dryer would be very effective, heat is the big player in drying the sieve. Welcome to the future @McPhet!
