    Core tip: diatomite is a kind of siliceous rock, mainly distributed in China, the United States, Denmark, France, the Soviet Union, Romania and other countries It is a kind of biogenic siliceous sedimentary rock, which is mainly composed of the remains of ancient diatoms Its chemical composition is mainly SiO2, which can be expressed as SiO2 · nH2O Its mineral composition is Opal and its varieties [sup] cited by [sup] the reserves of diatomite in China are 320 million tons, and the prospective reserves are more than 2 billion tons, which are mainly concentrated in East China and Northeast China, among which Jilin, Zhejiang, Yunnan, Shandong, Sichuan and other provinces have done a lot of work, although they are distributed Paint agent, top 10 Chinese wall paint brands Recommended introduction: interior wall paint and exterior wall paint can achieve beautiful, clean and pleasant effects, but the effects in different environments are different, so the color of the paint will be different There are ten brands of Chinese paint, ten brands of global paint, ten brands of Chinese wall paint, and ten brands of Chinese paint, Famous trademark of Chinese paint and coating In private rooms, most of us choose according to our own personality, personal hobbies and living habits The younger generation will choose the interior wall paint with rich colors and bright colors, while the older ones will have some working experience Coating home news: diatomite is a kind of siliceous rock, mainly distributed in China, the United States, Denmark, France, the Soviet Union, Romania and other countries It is a kind of biogenic siliceous sedimentary rock, which is mainly composed of the remains of ancient diatoms Its chemical composition is mainly SiO2, which can be expressed as SiO2 · nH2O Its mineral composition is Opal and its varieties [sup] cited by [sup] the reserves of diatomite in China are 320 million tons, and the prospective reserves are more than 2 billion tons, which are mainly concentrated in East China and Northeast China, of which the scale is large, and the work is done more in Jilin, Zhejiang, Yunnan, Shandong, Sichuan and other provinces, although widely distributed, but the high-quality soil is only concentrated in Jilin Changbai, Zhejiang, Yunnan, and most other deposits are grade 3-4 soil, because of the high impurity content [diatomite] 1 The raw ore contains a small amount of Al2O3, Fe2O3, Cao, MgO, K2O, Na2O, P2O5 and organic matter SiO2 usually accounts for more than 80%, up to 94% The iron oxide content of high quality diatomite is generally 1-1.5%, and the alumina content is 3-6% The mineral composition of diatomite is mainly Opal and its varieties, followed by clay mineral hydromica, kaolinite and mineral debris The mineral clasts are quartz, feldspar, biotite and organic matter The content of organic matter ranges from trace to over 30% The color of diatomite is white, gray, gray and light gray brown It has fine, loose, light, porous, water absorption and strong permeability Most of the silica in diatomite is amorphous, and the content of soluble silica in alkali is 50-80% When the amorphous SiO2 is heated to 800-1000 ° C, it becomes crystalline, and the soluble silicic acid in alkali can be reduced to 20-30% 2、 Formula: SiO2 molecular weight: 60.08 CAS No.: 61790-53-2 diatomite is a kind of siliceous rock, mainly distributed in China, the United States, Denmark, France, the Soviet Union, Romania and other diatomite countries The reserves of diatomite in China are 320 million tons, and the prospective reserves are more than 2 billion tons, which are mainly concentrated in East China and Northeast China, of which, Jilin, Zhejiang, Yunnan, Shandong, Sichuan and other provinces have done a lot of work Although they are widely distributed, the high-quality earth is only concentrated in the diatomite mining areas of Changbai and Yunnan in Jilin, especially rich in resources Most of the other deposits are grade 3-4 earth, because of the impurities High quantity, can not be directly used for deep processing Diatomite is composed of amorphous SiO2 and contains a small amount of Fe2O3, Cao, MgO, Al2O3 and organic impurities Diatomite is usually light yellow or light gray, soft, porous and light It is often used in industry as heat preservation material, filter material, filler, grinding material, water glass raw material, decolorizer, diatomite filter aid, catalyst carrier, etc The special porous structure of natural diatomite can be observed under microscope, which is the reason why diatomite has characteristic physical and chemical properties The main component of diatomite as carrier is SiO2 For example, the active component of industrial vanadium catalyst is V2O5, the cocatalyst is alkali metal sulfate, and the carrier is refined diatomite The results show that SiO2 has a stable effect on the active component, and it is strengthened with the increase of K2O or Na2O content The activity of the catalyst is also related to the dispersion and pore structure of the support After the diatomite was treated with acid, the content of oxide impurity decreased, the content of SiO2 increased, the specific surface area and pore volume also increased, so the carrier effect of refined diatomite was better than that of natural diatomite Diatomite is generally formed by silicate remains after the death of unicellular algae called diatoms Its essence is water-bearing amorphous SiO2 Diatoms can survive in both fresh and salt water There are many kinds of diatoms, which can be generally divided into "central order" and "featherline order" In each order, there are many "genera", which are quite complex The main component of natural diatomite is SiO2 The high quality diatomite is white, and the content of SiO2 is often more than 70% Single diatomite is colorless and transparent The color of diatomite depends on clay mineral and organic matter The composition of diatomite from different sources is different Diatomite is a kind of fossil diatomite deposit formed after the death of a single celled plant, which is called diatom Diatom is one of the earliest protozoa on the earth, living in the sea water or lake water This kind of diatomite is formed by the deposition of the remains of the single cell aquatic plant diatom The unique performance of this diatomite is that it can absorb the free silicon in water to form its skeleton When its life is over, the diatomite deposit will be formed under certain geological conditions It has some unique properties, such as: porosity, low concentration, large specific surface area, relative incompressibility and chemical stability It can be applied to many kinds of industrial requirements, such as coating and paint additives, after changing the particle size distribution and surface properties of raw soil through grinding, separation, calcination, air flow classification, impurity removal and other processing procedures 3、 Technical application this paper analyzes the characteristics of the water quality and quantity of the current urban sewage, and puts forward the sewage treatment technology suitable for China's national conditions The technology of treating urban sewage with diatomite is a physicochemical sewage treatment technology, and the key of the technology is the high-efficiency modified diatomite sewage treatment agent, on the basis of which the process flow and process facilities are coordinated, This technology can deal with the city efficiently, stably and cheaply But because it is a new technology, there are still some problems to be solved in theory and practical engineering application 4、 Application scope of diatomite
