Diatomite

DiatomDiatomite has been used as a filter aid for nearly a century. The ore is a soft, friable siliceous mineral. It is composed of the skeletons of microscopic plants deposited on the bottoms of oceans and lakes after and during the Miocene Age, from 100'000 to 15'000'000 years ago. Under the microscope the particles of diatomite show up in a variety of forms: symmetrical figures resembling disks, rods, cylinders and snowflakes. It is this shape factor combined with the rigidity of the particles that makes diatomite such an excellent raw material for the production of superior filter aids.

Diatomaceous earth is an amorphous form of silica containing a small amount of microcrystalline material. Filter aids are processed at above 800 ¡ãC (1500 ¡ãF). Both calcined and flux-calcined diatomite filter aids are free of organic matter and are non-adsorptive.

Best ? diatomite filter aids offer outstanding performance from the finest to the coarsest grades. These materials meet all requirements for good filter aids. This enables them to meet the exacting clarity and flow-rate demands of industrial filtration. Even more important, the user can depend on consistency and uniformity load after load.


THE Characteristics of the diatomite and Diatomite Producrs

Diatomite is a kind of univellular apuatic plant.lt absorbs the aliment of the water and forms the porous silicared ossature .The corpse of thediatomite precipitates in the water for many years,and becomes the mineral deposig under cerrain geological conditions.

Diatomite belonge to the amorphous silicon,lt has the charactweistics of porosity,high pore volume,large specific surface arda,low buld density,and strong absorbability.lt is lenperature-tolerant,heat-proof.and has the relativelt compressibility and chemical stability,thus it is a rare mulrifunctyonal material.lt is suitable for manufacturing filter aid,absorpjyve support,filler and heat-proof coating and so on after different processing and alteration.
