I will be moving to my new house in a month or so and was looking at alternate black sand to Flourite.
Came across this which is interesting.
The following SDS information should help you know what BDBS is.

Something to note, It’s chemically stable. Marginally water soluble. Incompatible with strong acids and bases.
It is inert to a certain level, not sure in aquarium, conditions exist for it to react with anything.
It will have some CEC because of its chemical composition.
