Kieselguhr is widely used as a filtration medium in various industries due to its high porosity and ability to trap fine particles. In the food and beverage industry, it is commonly employed in the filtration of beer, wine, and oils to remove impurities and achieve clarity. It also serves as a stabilizer in explosives, particularly dynamite, by absorbing nitroglycerin to make it safer to handle. Additionally, kieselguhr is utilized as an absorbent for liquids and as a filler in paints, plastics, and rubber products. In agriculture, it is applied as a natural pesticide and soil conditioner to improve water retention and aeration. Its abrasive properties make it suitable for use in polishes and cleaning products.
