Vermiculite inclusion at 20 and 30% in the composting of cattle manure improved nitrogen retention, and reduced mineral N content, as percentage of initial N added, NH 4 +:NO 3 − ratio and C:N ratio. Vermiculite inclusion also enhanced the Ca and Mg concentrations of the final cattle manure composts but reduced K concentration.

2. Obtaining vermiculite small particles . Natural vermiculite flakes are characterized by high values of aspect ratio. In clay science, exfoliation involves a degree of separation of the layers of a host structure where units, either individual layers or stacking of several layers, are dispersed (freely oriented and independent) in a solvent or polymer …

EPA began its investigation by purchasing and testing a number of vermiculite products available in garden stores across the country.

Vermiculite insulation isn't dangerous and hasn't been banned. From 1940-1984, the vast majority of vermiculite insulation sold in the US and Canada came from the Libby vermiculite mine and was distributed by Zonolite. The mine was contaminated with asbestos. Production ceased in 1984, and the mine closed down. Contents show table …

The high expansion rate expanded vermiculite prepared by the intercalation-microwave expansion method is a long worm-like porous lightweight material with an expansion ratio of 36 times and a bulk density of only 0.033 g/cm 3 . The expanded Vermiculite has excellent light weight, heat preservation and heat insulation properties.

When vermiculite is heated to very high temperatures, it expands into long strands resembling small worms. Vermiculite is lightweight, non-toxic and sterile and does not deteriorate over time. It has a neutral pH. It's used in the building industry, the car industry and in packaging. For use in horticulture, it's sold as lightweight, absorbent ...

Vermiculite is a common layered silicate clay mineral which has good adsorption and ion-exchange properties, and which is used to remove pollutants from groundwater. The adsorption by vermiculite from Heibei Province, China, of low-concentration ammonium in water was assessed here to evaluate the effects of …
