Abstract
For the characterization of diatomite from Vitachevo (Kavadarci, Republic of Macedonia), chemical, mineralogical and structural examinations were performed. The results of the chemical analysis of diatomite revealed a SiO2 content exceeding 89%. The X-ray powder diffraction indicates presence of amorphous phase, as well as presence of crystalline phases quartz, muscovite and cristobalite. The results of the infra-red confirm the results of the XRPD analyses. The SEM examinations explain the high porosity of the material and the presence of pores with nano-metric dimensions ranging from 300-600 nm. Based on the performed analysis the raw material can be utilized for various uses.
