Regenerate Desiccants
Used and exhausted Drierite® and calcium chloride desiccants can easily be regenerated. Spread the desiccant, one granule deep, in a shallow dish. Heat for one hour in an oven at 205 °C. Place the regenerated desiccant, while still hot, back into the original container. Tightly seal the container.
A temperature of less than 205 °C will not be sufficient to dehydrate the desiccant completely, even if you leave the desic- cant in the oven longer than one hour.
The color of indicating desiccants tends to fade after several regenerations.
