Heavy metals released into the environment could accumulate in living organisms, thus
causing various diseases and disorders. Diatomite, an eco-environmental functional …

In the current study, calcination and thermo-chemical methods were applied in treatment of
the processed diatomite fraction (< 45 μm), which containing nearly 82.6 wt.% of the raw …

A novel modified diatomite was prepared by chemical treatment by impregnating diatomite
into an acidic permanganate solution after calcination to remove aniline. Material …

Biomasses are a sustainable, CO 2 neutral source used in biorefining. Si-accumulating
plants can be used for the production of biogenic silica in a biomass valorisation process …

The organic modification of three-dimensional porous diatom frustules (biosilica) and their
fossils (diatomite) is promising in heavy metal adsorption. However, the preparation of such …

Featured Application The synthesized biogenic silica can be considered in applications
such as catalyst support, construction material, concrete and backing material. Abstract …

This work aims to evaluate the adsorption capacity of an abundant natural diatomite (ND) to
remove the azo dye carmoisine, known as a harmful emerging organic pollutant. Indeed, to …

Sugarcane leaves were used to produce high-purity and low-density silica xerogels through
a sol–gel method. The biogenic silica produced through a thermochemical method was …
