Fig. 1 also shows the role of ionic strength in Co(II) sorption onto diatomite. It is clear that Co(II) sorption is dependent on ionic strength at low pH, while independent of ionic strength at high pH. Based on the triple-layer model, a possible equilibrium sorption model of Co(II) with diatomite can be expressed as follows: (i) If Co(II) reacts similarly …

Figure 5(a) shows that diatomite is a porous material with plenty of macropores on its surface.
The mixture was put into vacuum oven to remove the entrapped air. Finally, the mixture was poured into a polish mould and placed in an oven at 120 °C for 1h, 160 °C for 2 h and 200 °C for 2 h to obtain the cured bio-based epoxy resin composites. The mass ratios of diatomite in the epoxy resin composites were set to be 15%, 20% and 25%.
The XRD analysis indicates that diatomite consists mainly of silica (SiO 2) with some Al 2 O 3, Fe 2 O 3, CaO and Na 2 O. The amorphous band may be attributed to the glass formation of SiO 2, and the peaks at 19°, 21°, 26° and 35° are the characteristic peaks of diatomite. The XRD pattern showed that diatomite is poorly crystallized.
