Structural change of the frustule of diatom by thermal treatment
Abstract The external skeleton, frustule, of a diatom is composed of hydrous amorphous silica and amino acids. In this study, the structural changes in the frustule of Chaetoceros calcitrans after thermal treatment up to 1200 °C were investigated using X-ray diffraction and attenuated total reflecti...
