About Diatomaceous Earth (Low Grade)
Diatomaceous earth (low grade) is a siliceous sedimentary rock composed of fossilized diatom shells, primarily used as a filtration medium, absorbent, and mild abrasive in industrial applications. Principal grades traded include food-grade (high purity) and industrial-grade (lower purity), with low-grade variants containing elevated clay and impurity levels suitable for animal bedding, dust control, and soil amendment. Major producing regions encompass the United States, China, Denmark, and Germany, with the U.S. and China dominating global exports. Buyers should verify silica content (typically 80-90% for low-grade material) and moisture levels, as these directly impact filtration efficiency and handling characteristics; purchasing specifications must clearly distinguish between calcined and non-calcined forms, which exhibit significantly different functional properties.
