MORPHOLOGY
Classic Neuburg Siliceous Earth is a

natural combination of corpuscular,
cryptocristalline and amorphous silica
and lamellar kaolinite: a loose mixture
impossible to separate by physical
methods. As a result of natural aging,
the silica portion exhibits a round
grain shape and consists of aggregated
cryptocristalline primary particles
of about 200 nm diameter which are
coated partially opallike. Such a
unique structure is responsible for a
relatively high specific surface area
and oil absorption, which result,
1 m
besides rheological activity, also in a
whole range of application properties.

Basically speaking, our entire production process is a process of separation 13 710

because only about 30 % of the raw earth extracted are a usable fine product. Input and crushing of raw earth, separation of Concentration, storage and blending of different
A particularly structure-conserving process separates the fine product from coarse material through vibration sieve product types in the form of slurry
sand and sundry stones and rock. In the first step the raw material is dispersed
in water and thus separated from gravel fractions. This is followed by the 45 1112
hydrocyclone unit which separates the sand fractions and sorts the fine particles Separation of gravel fractions and dispersion Removal of water in filter presses, extraction of

PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION
The particle size distribution, color value graphs and overview tables on the
following pages show the physical properties and chemical composition of the
Neuburg Siliceous Earth. The most significant differentiating characteristics are
the particle size distribution and color neutrality.
Neuburg Siliceous Earth is available in four different particle fractions, identified

by the letters V, N, Z and P.
