Best Answer

Silica gel can be reactivated by heating, as moisture adsorption does not change the substances. However, it is necessary to heat desiccants for packaging for a long time at a relatively low heat which usually costs more than actually purchasing new Silica Gel and often melts the glue which seals the sachets together.
