3. Diatomaceous earth filtration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatomaceous_earth_filtration

   Diatomaceous earth filtration is a special filtration process that removes particles from liquids as it passes through a layer of fossilized remains of microscopic water organism called diatoms. These diatoms are mined from diatomite deposits which are located along the Earth's surface as they have accumulated in sediment of open and moving ...
