kieselguhr

He was successful in mixing nitroglycerine with kieselgur which made it less sensitive to shocks.

This was made by mixing nitroglycerin with diatomaceous earth (called "kieselgur" in German) found in the Krümmel hills.

Improved insulating methods included: applying a thick paste containing a porous mineral, such as kieselgur, or shaped blocks of insulating compound such as magnesia blocks were attached.

Amorphous silica consists of kieselgur (diatomite), from the skeletons of diatoms, and vitreous silica, produced by heating and then rapid cooling of crystalline silica.

On the headstreams of the Landwehrbach lie the Faßberg military airfield (north of Schmarbeck) and numerous old kieselgur pits (either side of the Sothrieth).

Others use a fine powder such as diatomaceous earth, also called kieselguhr.

The 1930 US patent also mentions kieselguhr (diatomaceous earth).

These are often incompressible diatomaceous earth, or kieselguhr, which is composed primarily of silica.

Common media include diatomaceous earth, or kieselguhr, and perlite.

A means of filtering a wine that takes solely inside filtration medium, such as a kieselguhr, rotary drum vacuum or a frame filter.

Alfred Nobel created dynamite in 1867, by moulding nitroglycerine and a mud-like compound found near his laboratories called kieselguhr into individual cylinders.

A Berkefeld filter is a water filter made of diatomaceous earth or Kieselguhr.

Diatomite, also called Diatomaceous Earth and Kieselguhr, a substance composed primarily of fossilized diatom shells.

Parts Per Million of standard substance, such as PPM/DE (Kieselguhr)

Compared to other provinces of China, Jilin has extensive deposits of Kieselguhr, wollastonite, floatstone, and molybdenum.

A gun fighter who uses dynamite instead of guns (the original recipe for dynamite involved mixing nitroglycerin with Kieselguhr - porous dirt containing silica)

The diatomite was converted into kieselguhr which was mixed with nitroglycerine by Nobel Industries, at Ardeer, to make dynamite.

Dusts have been used to ward off insects from grain storage for centuries, including "plant ash, lime, dolomite, certain types of soil, and diatomaceous earth or Kieselguhr".

The cell-free extract was produced by combining dry yeast cells, quartz and kieselguhr and then pulverizing the yeast cells with a pestle and mortar.

At several localities between Logie Coldstone and Dinnet a deposit of diatomite (Kieselguhr) occurs beneath the peat.

An ultrafine means of filtration usually done with kieselguhr or perlite that leaves a wine with exceptionally bright clarity - giving the impression that it has been polished.

In 1867, Nobel accidentally discovered that when nitroglycerin dripped on kieselguhr, a silicon-containing earth, it formed a paste that was stable and safer to use than liquid nitroglycerin alone.

The story of how Nobel produced dynamite by stabilising nitroglycerin (by mixing with kieselguhr) is skilfully told, while readers are left in no doubt that he became very disillusioned when his explosives were used for warfare.

While the product is moved from a fermentation tank to a bright beer tank for packaging, the beer is sifted through diatomaceous earth (also referred to as "Kieselguhr") and Pall candle filters.

Nobel found that when nitroglycerin was incorporated in an absorbent inert substance like kieselguhr (diatomaceous earth) it became safer and more convenient to handle, and this mixture he patented in 1867 as 'dynamite'.

At the same time, we have been given an explanation of what is meant by basic substances which are sometimes used as biocides and should be labelled as such, namely carbon dioxide, nitrogen, ethanol, 2-propanol, acetic acid and kieselguhr.

The purified SO is then oxidised by atmospheric oxygen at between 400 and 600 C over a catalyst consisting of vanadium pentoxide (VO) activated with potassium oxide KO on kieselguhr or silica support.

Many use pre-made filtration media such as sheets or candles, while others use a fine powder made of, for example, diatomaceous earth, also called kieselguhr, which is introduced into the beer and recirculated past screens to form a filtration bed.

Dynamite, which uses diatomaceous earth (also known as kieselguhr), sawdust, or other absorptive materials to make nitroglycerin more stable, has less explosive energy per unit of volume than pure nitroglycerin since part of its volume is non-explosive matter.

Liquid nitroglycerin was widely banned elsewhere as well and this finally led to Alfred Nobel & Company's development of dynamite in 1867, made by mixing the nitroglycerin with the diatomaceous earth ('kieselguhr') found in the Krümmel hills.
