Diatomaceous earth powder is a fine grained substance derived from the fossilized remains of diatoms, which are single celled algae. These diatoms have intricate cell walls made of silica (SiO₂). Over time, as diatoms die and accumulate at the bottom of bodies of water such as lakes and oceans, their remains form thick deposits. Through geological processes, these deposits are compressed and eventually mined to obtain diatomaceous earth, which is then ground into powder.
Characteristics of diatomaceous earth powder is its highly porous structure. Diatomaceous earth powder has excellent adsorption capabilities. It can effectively adsorb various substances, including liquids, gases, and fine particles.In the water treatment industry, diatomaceous earth powder is widely used as a filtration aid. When added to water, it forms a filter cake on the filter medium. The fine pores in the powder trap suspended solids, bacteria, and some organic impurities, significantly improving water clarity and quality. In swimming pool filtration systems, diatomaceous earth filters can remove particles as small as a few microns, ensuring clean and safe pool water.
