<p>Does anyone know where can I find measured thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of diatomite for different temperatures? I'm looking for the temperature dependency for temperatures higher than 300K. The upper temperature limit shall be at least 1000K, but more is better.

<p>Any help will be appreciated.</p>

If this community doesn't have a useful response in a few days, perhaps request a transfer to chemistry SE, as I'd think such data is right in their wheelhouse (though certainly also plenty of tie ins to geology and such here)
