In order to improve the performance of the single desiccant solution and reduce the cost
the study of mixed liquid desiccants has been conducted by many researchers. Taking into account the low cost and weak dehumidification performance and for the sake of improving dehumidification performance of calcium chloride solution
adding lithium chloride or lithium bromide into frequently-used calcium chloride solution is considered in this paper. The solubility limit is explored by measuring the mass concentration of saturated mixed liquid of calcium chloride and lithium chloride or lithium bromide. Afterwards
the viscosity and surface tension of the mixed desiccants of lithium chloride and calcium chloride are measured. Through the experimental data of solubility
it is found that the saturated concentration of mixed liquid desiccants promotes up to 8% compared with saturated calcium chloride solution. The viscosity and surface tension of different mixing ratio of calcium chloride and lithium chloride solution show the lowest value at 1:1 mass ratio.
