Perlite is recognized as an effective dye-absorbing material, but its disposal methods raise questions. The industry typically discards used perlite due to its low cost, with little incentive for recovery. However, research indicates that perlite can be regenerated after use, maintaining its chemical composition. Potential secondary uses for discarded perlite include applications as a cement filler.

maistral said:I have a question regarding perlite; as far as I know perlite can be used as a dye absorbing material. After absorbing dye, what do people do with it? Dispose of it? Or is there a method to recover the used perlite? Thanks!

Once it is discarded, say for example after absorbing dye. What purpose can it serve afterward? Perhaps cement filler (is that even correct lol)? I seem to be unable to find resources regarding what to do with used perlite.
