In this study, diatomite was refined by a simple purification method consisting of calcination combined with acid washing. Optimal purification conditions were the focus, including the influence of conditions on diatomite morphology, structure, and specific surface area. The results showed that the optimal conditions were a 550 °C carbonization temperature and 25 wt% HCl. This purified diatomite was then employed to adsorb gallic acid (GA) from molasses wastewater in a series of adsorption experiments, which illustrated that (ḭ) GA adsorption fitted a pseudo-second-order model and the Freundlich equation better with GA adsorption by purified diatomite; (ḭḭ) the adsorption process was physical, nonspontaneous, and endothermic; (ḭḭḭ) the maximum GA adsorption capacity by purified diatomite was 19.852 mg g⁻¹. This study reported the examination of a promising material for sugar mill wastewater pretreatment.
