Product Details

Food grade Diatomaceous Earth / Diatomite for Filter media , Mild Abrasive and Gardening etc

Product Description

Diatomite is a friable light-colored sedimentary rock that is mainly composed of the siliceous skeletal remains of diatoms. It is a very porous rock with a fine particle size and a low specific gravity. These properties make it useful as a filter media, an absorbent, and as a lightweight filler for rubber, paint, and plastics.

Main Size of Diatomite as follows:

Granular:0.2-0.8mm,0.6-1.6mm,1-3mm,3-6mm,5-10mm,8-11mm,15-30mm,

Powder:60-100mesh,300mesh

Characteristic:

Small particle size
High porosity
High surface area
Relatively inert siliceous composition
Low specific gravity

Chemcial Composition of diatomite:

Product Type	SiO2	Al2O3	Fe2O3	CaO	Loss on ignition
10#	85.60	4.50	1.50	0.52	4.60
20#-30#	89.50	4.80	1.40	0.52	0.25
300#-1200#	88.90	4.70	1.38	0.52	0.25

Usage

Filter Media :

The small particle size of diatomaceous earth and the open structure of the frustules enable it to work effectively as a particle filter. The pores within and between the frustule are small enough to trap bacteria, clay particles, and other suspended solids. It is used at drinking water treatment plants, swimming pools, breweries, wineries, chemical plants, and where juices and syrups are made. These fluids are forced through a layer of wet diatomaceous earth, and suspended particles are trapped because they cannot fit through the pores.

Mild Abrasive:

Diatomaceous earth is used as a mild abrasive in some toothpastes, facial scrubs, and metal polishes. Its silica particles are small, friable, have a high surface area, and are angular in shape. These are properties that help it perform well as a mild abrasive.

Gardening
Diatomaceous earth is used as a growing medium in hydroponic gardens. It is inert, holds water, and has a porosity that allows the soil to breathe. To help grain and other seeds from sticking together and remain dry, they are dusted with diatomaceous earth.
