Perlite Applications:
1: For horticulture:
Perlite is a super light weight potting media that is clean and easy to use as well as environmentally friendly, offering many advantages allowing you to get the very best from your plants, nurturing them and helping them grow healthy and strong. The unique properties of perlite provides for excellent aeration and drainage while still ensuring good water retention.
Clients who used perlite in horticulture has the following results:
2: For insulation:
The unique properties of perlite have found wide acceptance in the insulating of cryogenic low temperature storage tanks (particularly for the storage of LNG), in shipping containers, cold boxes (Air Separation Units), test chambers and in food processing.
There are many different types of design concepts for low temperature and cryogenic storage vessels. However, most are double wall construction with the annulus filled with expanded perlite.
Advantages:
3: Filter aids:
Perlite is a generic name for a naturally occurring siliceous volcanic rock. A unique property of perlite is that it expands up to twenty times its original volume when it is heated to its softening range.
This expansion process is caused by the presence of water in the crude rock. When perlite ore is rapidly heated to above 1200c, this water vaporizes and causes the softened rock to expand. Tiny glass like bubbles are produced which account for the light weight and exceptional physical properties of expanded perlite.
It is these light weight glasslike bubbles that are milled and classified under stringent quality control conditions to produce perlite filter aids. This material exhibits a unique, jagged interlocking structure with myriads of microscopic channels affording optimum flow rates and clarities for a wide variety of applications. Perlite filter aids do not impart taste, colour or odour to liquids being filtered and they are virtually insoluble in mineral and organic acids at all temperatures. Solubility in strong alkalis varies depending on temperature and contact time.
The dry density of perlite filter aid ranges from 100-200kg/m3. Experience in a variety of applications in many industries has shown that users of filter aids can substantially reduce filtration costs without sacrificing performance by converting to perlite filter aids.
Perlite filter aids can be used with both pressure and vacuum filtration equipment by merely replacing present filter aid. Plant or laboratory filtration studies will enable the selection of the optimum filter aid to be specified and the dosage that is required. Of special note is the fact that when perlite filter aids are used with rotary vacuum filters, filter cakes exhibit less cracking than when other filter aids are used.
