Abstract: Water environmental pollution control is a hot issue in the field of environmental protection. Diatomite is widely used in the in the filed of wastewater treatment, because of its large specific surface area and strong adsorption capacity. The abundant reserves and low price of diatomite make it to be broad application prospects in treating wastewater. Based on the introduction of the character and adsorption mechanisms of diatomite, this paper reviewed the research progress of diatomite application in treating Heavy metals wastewater, printing and dyeing wastewater, paper waste, oily wastewater, municipal wastewater and so on. Finally, the deficiencies of the current research on diatomite application in wastewater treatment process were summarized, and the application prospect of diatomite in the field of wastewater treatment was discussed. The current review can offer some basic information and ideas for the related research.
