Scope and Content Kieselguhr is an absorbent diatomaceous earth on which nitro-glycerine was absorbed to produce Dynamite (the first high explosive), developed by Alfred Nobel in 1866. Nobel used nitro-cellulose instead of Kieselgur to produce Blasting Gelatine in 1875. Dynamite itself was superseded by a range of explosives known as Powders, Semi-gelatines and Gelatines, all of which were produced at Ardeer.
