Abstract:The objective of this investigation is to use hydrochloric acid (HCl) at different concentration as a chemical treatment for the Algerian diatomite (DE) in order to get it ready for further applications oriented towards pharmaceutical aspects. Commercial diclofenac sodium (DS) is used
to study adsorption on DE in aqueous laboratory conditions. It is found that DE contains roughly 60% SiO2 and 13% CaO. Its morphology is characterized by a porous structure composed of several broken and compacted diatomic aggre… Show more
