Hydrocarbon source rock potential and paleoenvironment of lower Miocene diatomites in the Eastern Carpathians Bend Zone (Sibiciu de Sus, Romania)

Preparation of Ceramic Granules Enriched with Silicon Extracted from Reeds

“…The quartz sand contains more than 97% SiO 2 . The used diatomaceous earth (DE) was from Sibiciu de Sus quarry (Industriile de Diatomit, Pătârlagele, Buzău, Romania), and was formed by frustules of freshwater diatoms from the Aulacoseira (66%) and Actinocyclus genera [14]. The bentonite was from clarification of Muscat Ottonel white wine (Minis , , Romania).…”
