General comment Activated silica is a substance or material usually formed from the reaction of a dilicate silicate solution with a dilute acid. It is frequently useful as a coagulation aid in water treatment and its use has become standard practice in many municipal and industrial water purification plants. The active ingredients are small particles of silica (called micelles). |
