Diatomite Market Analysis
Growing demand for diatomite in filtration applications is driving the market. Diatomite is used as filter media for versatile applications such as liquids, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. Diatomite is a relatively cost-effective filter media for water purification, therefore used for eliminating impurities from water. It is used in chemical processing such as sodium hydroxide, sulphuric acid, and gold salts. Diatomite’s distinct honeycomb structure has further fuelled its utilization in the filtration applications. The market offers two types of diatomite filters namely, pressure filters and vacuum filters. Filters made from diatomite offer elimination of suspended particles with particle size of 0.1 micron. A significant proportion of produced diatomite is consumed for filtration application. According to a report published by the Indian Bureau of Mines in 2021, the economic stability of the market is highly dependent on its utilization as filtration medium.
Diatomite Market Overview
Diatomite is naturally forming soft, siliceous sedimentary rock, occurring from fossilized remains of diatoms. Organic material and iron are thermally volatized and oxidized respectively by processes such as calcination and flux calcination. Diatomite is extensively used as filter media due to its high efficacy, high porosity, and surface area. It is used in various filtration applications, such as water treatment, beverage processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Diatomite is used as a filler in paints, coatings, plastics, and rubber. It is a highly absorbent material used in many applications such as oil and grease spill cleanup, pet litter, and soil amendment. In the recent years, the market has witnessed growing demand of diatomite in hydroponic gardening as growing medium, specifically attributed to its properties such as inertness, water holding capacity and porosity.
