IUPAC definition : The reverse of deliquescence: the drying of a salt solution when the vapour pressure
of water in the saturated solution of a substance is greater than the partial pressure
of water in the ambient air. Also refers to the loss of water of crystallization from
a solid salt such as Na sub 2 /sub CO sub 3 /sub ·10H sub 2 /sub O.;
