Silica gel can be classified in different ways of preparation, uses and its characteristics. By the ways of preparation. Silica gels can be categorized into the silicone gel, silica sol, aerogel and the fine silica products through a deep process. By the ways of existence forms. Silica gels can be categorized into liquid, powder, lump, spherical and other relative specifications. By the uses. Silica gels can be categorized into the industrial use, civil use, preparation and abruption use, chromatogram analysis use, packing use.
Silica gel’s classification by the characteristics may be done by its chemical composition, purification and pore’s physical structure. Silica gel’s characteristics and the inter-differences may greatly depend on the structural characteristics of the pores. Silica gels can be classified by the pore structure and the uses as follows:

2. Medium-pored silica gel (Type B silica gel)
Colorful silica gel

Type B silica
gel’s average
pore-diameter is 45-70 angstroms. The specific surface
area could be 450-650m2/g. This is
mainly used for liquid absorbent, dryer and perfume carrier as well as the
catalyst
carrier and silica sand.
3. Macro-pored silica gel (Type C silica gel)

Its average pore diameter is usually 80-125 angstroms. The specific surface area could be 300—400m2/g. The above specifications may be different according to the types. It includes Macro-pored spherical silica gel, Macro-pored micro-sphere silica gel, Macro-pored lump silica gel, column chromatography silica gel, liquid chromatogram-use silica gel and activation silica gel. Macro-pored silica gel is mainly used for the dehydrated purification of the industrial gases, the clearance of the organic acids and high polymers in the insulative oil, the purification and separation of the medicines and as the crystal cat litter, the catalyst or the catalyst carrier.
4. Big-pored silica gel
Colorful cat litter High efficient drier
