Production and Surface Research of a New Material with the Addition of Diatomite for Potential Filtration Applications

Abstract

This work is dedicated to the research and study of the possibility of using Natural minerals such as Diatomaceous Earth (diatoms) for filtering various environments. The extraordinary progress and prospects of diatomaceous earth (DE) as a biomatrix material for creating porous materials are relevant and interesting. The unique structures of DE, including its mesoporosity and large surface area, have made it a key material for the filtration process. Its biotemplating ability can initiate the creation of highly efficient porous permeable materials. Its sufficient natural abundance and ecological properties are consistent with the increasing emphasis on sustainability in environmental solutions. Its complex structures and biotemplating capabilities will pave a compelling path in the future for the advancement of sustainable, highly efficient solutions for filtering environments, marking a significant step towards a more ecological and efficient future for humanity. This research paper explores the potential of DE as a bio-matrix material for creating a permeable material without delving into the complex filtration processes. Previous studies have shown that the use of Diatomaceous Earth with titanium powder in various proportions allows us to talk about the possibility of creating highly efficient porous permeable materials with branched porosity even for drinking water filtration
