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.
