mixing phosphorus pentoxide with celite
I have seen some articles that say that phosphorus pentoxide can be mixed with celite to produce a drying agent that is similar to Merck's "sicapent"
which doesn't form a crust after absorbing water.
Anyone tried this? Would just mixing the materials well cause them to adhere?

I found this:
| Quote: | | 500 gms of CELITE diatomaceous earth was mixed with 1320 gms of liquid ammonium phosphate fertilizer. The fertilizer contained 34% P2O5. The
semi-solid resulting from the mixture was dried at 105C. and milled to 14 meshparticles. The P2O5 content of the dry solid was found to be 36%.

Phosphate content in fertilizers is always indicated as P2O5, but obviously it doesn't contain any.
One shouldn't accept or resort to the mutilation of science to appease the mentally impaired.
