Perlite Filter Aid for Recreational Water Filtration
In a recent study, perlite filter aid was used in combination with a sand filter to remove Cryptospo-ridium-sized polystyrene microspheres from swim-ming pool water [3]. The use of a sand filter alone removed only 19% of the microspheres, while adding a thin layer of perlite (1.2 kg·m -2) resulted in a nearly 98% removal.

Genesis in Fire Rapidly heating perlite ore to temperatures of about 900°C (1,700°F) softens the volcanic glass causing entrapped water molecules in the rock to turn to steam and expand the particles like popcorn. The expanded particles that result are actually clusters of minute, lightweight, insulating, glass bubbles.
