    A sample of food-grade diatomaceous earth Scanning electron micrograph of diatomaceous earth. Diatomaceous earth (/ ˌ d aɪ. ə t ə ˈ m eɪ ʃ ə s / DY-ə-tə-MAY-shəs), diatomite (/ d aɪ ˈ æ t ə m aɪ t / dy-AT-ə-myte), celite or kieselgur/kieselguhr is a naturally occurring, soft, siliceous sedimentary rock that can be crumbled into a fine white to off-white powder.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatom_filter

    Diatom filter. Diatomaceous earth (DE) filtration is a special filtration process that removes particles from liquids as it passes through a layer of fossilized remains of microscopic water organism called diatoms. These diatoms are mined from diatomite deposits which are located along the Earth's surface as they have accumulated in sediment of ...

    Diatomaceous earth (diatomite) is a collection of diatom shells found in the Earth's crust. They are soft, silica-containing sedimentary rocks which are easily crumbled into a fine powder and typically have a particle size of 10 to 200 μm.

    Of these, diatomaceous earth in particular has seen a revival as a non-toxic (when in amorphous form) residual pesticide for bed bug abatement. While diatomaceous earth often performs poorly, silica gel may be effective. Basket-work panels were put around beds and shaken out in the morning in the UK and in France in the 19th century.

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Diatomaceous_earth

    Diatomaceous earth is a soft, siliceous, sedimentary rock made up of the cell walls / shells of single cell diatoms and readily crumbles to a fine powder. It is essentially entirely made up of microfossils. Diatom cell walls are bivalve, i.e. made up of two halves, and are made up of biogenic silica; silica synthesised in the diatom cell by the ...
