What is the difference between the NaK Silica gels (Na2K) , for example Stage I or Stage II?
These alkali silica gels, which are offered by Sigma-Aldrich for SiGNa Chemistry, can reduce some of the handling precautions traditionally associated with alkali metals, while still retaining the reducing power of the parent alkali.They are classified into three categories. Stage 0 powders, like 660140 or 660159, are air-sensitive, but can easily be used in continuous-flow applications. Stage I powders, like 660167, are non-pyrophoric and dry air-stable; they can be stored for months without any change in reducing capacity. Stage II powders are easily handled in an open ambient environment, but readily react with water to produce stoichiometric yields of pure hydrogen gas. Stage II powders function well as a hydrogen source or drying agent.
