Study and Fabrication of Acid-Modified Diatomite

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents an investigation of the purification and activation of a raw diatomite by acid treatment. In the acid modification process, the SiO2 gel powder was adsorbed partially into the pure diatomite, blocking macropores and large mesopores of diatomite, which resulted in great increase of the specific surface area and SiO2 content of diatomite. Thus, the as-prepared diatomite has potential use in the fabrication of catalyst carrier.
