Diatomite is a chalk-like, friable, soft, earthy, and fine-grained siliceous sedimentary rock. The rock is also called diatomaceous earth. It usually has a light color (white to gray, rarely black). The colors are usually added due to impurities in the rock. Diatomite has a particle size ranging from more than 1 μm to less than 1 mm.

Diatomite is a hydrous or opaline form of silica, commonly known as diatomaceous earth, diatomaceous silica or kieselguhr. The term "infusorial earth" has lost its original meaning and today is incorrect in view of the distinctions between diatoms and infusoria. Various locality and variety names are obsolete but some retain local significance.

In addition, calcination could further improve permeability, whiteness, and other distinctive features of diatomite filter aids [10]. However, calcination is not always a perfect process for diatomite because the desired porous structure of diatomite would be destroyed, which would seriously restrain the properties of diatomite filter aids.

Diatomaceous earth. Diatomaceous earth or diatomite is a light-colored sedimentary rock composed chiefly of siliceous shells (frustules) of diatoms. Diatomaceous earth is a soft and friable rock. It leaves hands dusty if touched and has a fragile feel as if it has a delicate and light-weight internal structure. This feeling is not misleading.
