I want to analyze the ash content in my plant biomass. ASTM protocol suggests the use of Calcium sulfate (anhydrous) as the desiccant. Upon reading up I found that molecular sieves can be used as a desiccant at a higher temperature. I am willing to consider this as they are available in my laboratory. But, I cannot seem to understand how much I am supposed to add into the desiccator of a particular volume for desired control of moisture.
