Diatomaceous Earth, also known as Diatomite, Kieselguhr (German
Word), is a chalky sedimentary rock composed of the skeletal of
single-cell aquatic plants called Diatoms.
Uses of Diatomaceous earth:
Diatomaceous Earth is used in a plethora of applications.
Diatomaceous Earth is used in the Manufacturing of Calcium silicate
boards, Fireproof safes and cabinets, brake liners, Mould release
in automobile parts spun pipes, Mould release in Latex products,
Animal feeds as Carrier and direct used, Aquaculture, Coil coating
paints, in oil well drilling, in an oil refinery, as an anti-caking
agent in fertilizers and animal feed, for grain storage, for paper
manufacturing, Filtration of edible oil, pharmaceutical drugs,
chemicals, as a catalyst in manufacturing of vanadium pentoxide, as
enzyme carrier in textiles, in match sticks, to control fluorine in
phosphoric acid plants, In horticulture, in the manufacturing of
bath mats, in cosmetic manufacturing, etc.
Diatomite Rotary Kiln Applications
Diatomite filter aids are processed in a kiln above 800°C (1500°F).
Both calcined and flux-calcined diatomite filter aids are free of
organic matter and are non-adsorptive.
Filtration using diatomaceous earth has been done for more than 100
years. For many products it is the most cost effective filtration
available today.
