-
A vessel containing anhydrous sulphuric acid, calcium chlorid, or some other strongly water- absorbing substance. Some d's are so constructed that the air may be pumped out through a stop-cock. The drying in such a vacuum d. is very rapid. When a body to be dried is placed either above or alongside of the acid, etc., in the d., which is made air-tight, the latter abstracts water from the former. [Lat.]
