Diatomite filter aids have been successfully used in multiple solid/liquid separation applications for decades. Composed of the fossilised remains of aquatic algae, their inert, siliceous and highly microporous structures make them unique for providing depth filtration to submicron level. However, diatomite demonstrates limited adsorption properties, so producers tend... [Read More]

The EU Commission has suggested that this year’s soybean harvest in the EU-27 fell slightly short of the previous year's level, despite an expansion in the production area for the 2024 harvest. The decrease primarily reflects a decline in harvest in Romania. In its latest estimate, the EU Commission marginally lowered its forecast for soybean production in the EU.... [Read More]
