	Beneficiation of diatomite earth from Bahia state
		Diatomite (diatomaceous earth, kiselguhr) is a sedimentary rock of marine or lacustrine deposition.
		Chemically, diatomite is essentially amorphous hydrated or opaline silica with varying amounts of contaminants, such as silica sand, clay minerals, metal salts and organic matter.
		Diatomite can be considered as inert due to the chemical composition, which imply that diatomite does not affect taste, smell or colour.

		Diatomite is the specific name given to fossil diatom deposits that are large enough and pure enough that they are of potential commercial value (Benton, 1983).
		Diatomite was then exposed at the surface by the erosion of overlying sediments (Compton, 1991).
		In 1995 eighty-four percent of all diatomite produced in the U.S. was used in three principal areas (table 2); as a filter medium, as a filler, and as an insulator.

	Advanced Minerals - Glossary
		Diatomite or diatomaceous earth is a sediment greatly enriched in biogenic silica in the form of siliceous skeleta of diatoms, a diverse array of microscopic, single-cell algae.
		In general, the tightest marine diatomite can remove submicron size turbidity, but, as in depth filtration, the objective is to select a filter aid that removes only the size of turbidity necessary to achieve the desired clarity without unnecessarily limiting flow rate.
		Diatomite filter aids are available in a wide range of permeability, from about 0.001 to about 15 Darcies.

	Diatomite (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Diatomite, or Bann clay as it is known locally, is made up of the remains of algae that grew in shallow flooded areas.
		The diatomite material is made up of the silica cases of many different species of diatom (green algae) that have decayed leaving only their hard outer cases behind.
		The diatomite was laid down between 7,500 and 5,000 years ago in river embayments and shallow lake environments during the time when early people had colonised the area and before peat bogs had begun to form.

	Diatomite, Vivian, Elko County, Nevada
		Some of the diatomite was used in 1919 at the Catlin Oil-Shale refinery in Elko, Nevada.
		Diatomite is like chalk in that it is formed from the skeletal remains of little "beasties" (all those geology courses at ASU just paid off).
		These include diatomite which makes up part of the Humboldt Formation (restricted) in the north end of Pine Valley and north and northwest of the Humboldt River, where the thickest diatomite beds noted were 6-7 m (20-23 ft).

		Filtration is the main application for diatomite, with the principal market for diatomite filter aids in alcoholic beverages and in filtering sugar and sweeteners, oils and fats, and in water treatment.
		The eventual replacement of diatomite filters with membrane types may be speeded by legislation regarding waste disposal, which would make the option of dumping diatomite cake in landfill sites more expensive or even prohibited.
		The market for diatomite as a filler in paints, which accounts for 80-100,000tpa worldwide, is declining and consumers are actively seeking alternative materials: this is due partly to mounting concerns regarding crystalline silica, but mainly to the relatively high price of diatomite.

		Of course I have no idea where the diatomite used in the polishes came from, also I do not have sufficient knowledge of diatoms to know if they are of freshwater or marine origin.
		I have named those above with the aid of 'A guide to the morphology of the diatom frustule' by E.Y. Haworth and the late H.G. Barber and published by the Freshwater Biological Association, which suggest they are from freshwater unless they are also found in marine environments.

		The rock in question is diatomite, made of countless silica skeletons of microscopic aquatic plants.
		Barenblatt recently advanced a new concept of damage propagation in diatomite, with consequent modification of rock properties; initial computer simulations based on the model suggest new technologies for oil recovery.

	DID GRASSLAND EXPANSION TRIGGER BURSTS IN LACUSTRINE DIATOMITE ACCUMULATION? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The predominance of diatomite mining in Miocene and younger deposits generally supports a Miocene increase, but presently available data cannot be resolved into two pulses that match the grassland radiations.
		If runoff reduction was the dominant factor, diatomite abundance would not increase with the Late Miocene radiation of the C4 grasses.
		However, if silica supply was the critical variable, diatomite volume should have risen with the expansion of silica rich C4 grasses, but only in the tropics where those grasses thrive.
