On the Particles Size Distributions of Diatomaceous Earth and Perlite Granulations
Abstract
When filtering products with a high level of non-soluble solids and containing filtration-inhibiting substances, a variety of different filter aids can be used. Among others, kieselguhr and perlite are possible materials for this purpose. The selection of the granulation that should be applied depends on the filtered liquid medium and the desired retention level. While perlite is most commonly used for rough filtration, kieselguhr is also suitable for more subtile filtration. In the paper, particle size distributions of three kieselguhr granulations and a perlite granulation are analysed. Particle sizes are measured by the morphometric method commonly used in the microbiology. Basic statistic parameters are calculated for all considered samples and compared. The applicability of hyperbolic and log-hyperbolic functions, in describing the particles size distributions of these granulations is verified. Depending on the imposed filtration requirements, this approach enables simple modellin...g and composition of a wide variety of different granulations characterised by appropriate particle size distributions from a few available granulations.
