Sitton (19) used a large number of variously formulated waxes on pecan and found that the most successful from the standpoint of graft survival was one composed of 10 parts rosin, 2 parts beeswax, and 1 part filler such as kieselguhr, talc, or aluminum powder. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
Well, the term "skank" is rooted in the discipline of brewing to refer to the final mixture of kieselguhr and yeast. ❋ BikeSnobNYC (2009)
Alfred persevered, first inventing the blasting cap and then discovering that a silicaceous earth, kieselguhr, would stabilize nitroglycerin, thus making dynamite. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Alfred Nobel invented dynamite, a product in which the explosion-prone nitroglycerin is curbed by being absorbed in kieselguhr, a porous soil rich in shells of diatoms. ❋ Unknown (1998)

Moisture, 0.92 per cent.; kieselguhr, 26.15 per cent.; and nitro - glycerine, 72.93 per cent., the last being obtained by difference. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
The Rhenish dynamite, considerably used in the mines of Cornwall, is composed of 70 parts of a solution of 2 to 3 per cent. of naphthalene in nitro-glycerine, 3 parts of chalk, 7 parts of sulphate of barium, and 20 of kieselguhr. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
Nitro-glycerine is decomposed differently if it is ignited as dynamite (i.e., kieselguhr dynamite), and if the gases are allowed to escape freely under a pressure nearly equal to that of the atmosphere. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
For antiseptic purposes it has been prepared as "bromum solidificatum," which consists of kieselguhr or similar substance impregnated with about 75\% of its weight of bromine. ❋ Various (N/A)
The surface is smoothed by means of a flat-headed glass rod or stopper, and some clean washed and dried kieselguhr (_c_) is spread over it to the depth of about 1/8 inch. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
With regard to the heating of the various buildings in the winter, steam pipes only should be used, and should be brought from a boiler-house outside the danger area, and should be covered with kieselguhr or fossil meal and tarred canvas. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
The relative value [A] of blasting gelatine to nitro - glycerine is as 1.4 to 1.45, kieselguhr dynamite being taken as 1.0. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
Cuprous chloride is used as a solution in strong hydrochloric acid mixed with ferric chloride, and similarly absorbed in kieselguhr. ❋ W. J. Atkinson Butterfield (N/A)
Ordinary dynamite consists of a mixture of 75 per cent. of nitro-glycerine and 25 per cent. of kieselguhr. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
The use of arsenious oxide dissolved in a strong acid, and the solution absorbed in pumice or kieselguhr has been protected by G.F. Jaubert. ❋ W. J. Atkinson Butterfield (N/A)

Among the porous substances used is kieselguhr, a silicious earth which consists chiefly of the skeletons of various species of diatoms. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
The other method consists in pumping acetylene under pressure into a cylinder apparently quite full of some highly porous solid matter, like charcoal, kieselguhr, unglazed brick, &c. ❋ W. J. Atkinson Butterfield (N/A)
The kieselguhr having been dried, crushed, and sifted, should be packed away in bags, and care should be taken that it does not again absorb moisture, as if it contains anything above about five-tenths per cent. of water it will cause the dynamite made with it to exude. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
