description Product Description
Celite is widely used as a filtration aid in various industries, particularly in laboratories and manufacturing processes. Its high porosity and ability to form a permeable layer make it ideal for filtering fine particles from liquids and gases. In the food and beverage industry, it is employed to clarify liquids such as beer, wine, and fruit juices by removing suspended solids and impurities. In chemical and pharmaceutical production, it aids in the purification of solutions and the separation of fine particulates. Additionally, Celite is utilized in chromatography as a stationary phase or support material for separating complex mixtures. Its inert nature and thermal stability also make it suitable for use in high-temperature applications, such as catalyst supports in industrial processes. Furthermore, it serves as a melting agent in firing processes, for example in ceramics production, to lower melting points and improve material properties.
