Abstract

See full text

A method of producing a range of diatomaceous earth blended filter aids having selectable permeabilities and less than about 1 percent by weight total of crystalline silica and less than about 0.1% by weight total of respirable crystalline silica. The method includes milling diatomaceous earth ore to a size range of between about 100 micrometers and about 1400 micrometers; calcining the milled diatomaceous earth in a calciner; milling the calcined diatomaceous earth in an adjustable milling and classification system to produce diatomaceous earth filter aids, and blending the diatomaceous earth with expanded perlite to form a low bulk density and low solubility filter aid.
