Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are rendering this opinion to LianDi Clean Technology Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2010 of a Form S-1, as amended (the “Registration Statement”) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the registration of up to 13,197,560 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”).
 
The Registration Statement relates to the resale of 993,742 shares of Common Stock (the “Issued Shares”), 7,086,078 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) issuable upon the conversion of shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and 5,117,740 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) issuable upon the exercise of warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). The Issued Shares, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Shares”) are being offered by the selling stockholders identified in the Registration Statement.
 
We have examined:
 
1.  
The Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”) as certified by the Nevada Secretary of State on June 18, 2010.
 
2.  
the Certificate of Designation (“Certificate of Designation”), with respect to the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, as included in the Articles of Incorporation.

3.    Good Standing Certificate from the Nevada Secretary of State for the Company dated June 18, 2010.
 
4.    The Bylaws (“Bylaws”) of the Company certified by an officer of the Company on February 26, 2010.
 
5.           The form of warrant agreement with respect to the Warrants.
 
6.           Resolutions of the directors (“Board of Directors”) of the Company.
 
We have assumed that the Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto, shall have become effective under the Act and will remain effective at the time of issuance of any Common Stock registered thereunder.  We note that the Company has reserved a sufficient amount of the Common Stock to satisfy its obligations for issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares and assume the Company will not issue any shares in violation of such reservation.
 
With respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, we assume that the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock has not been withdrawn from the records of the Nevada Secretary of State.
 
With respect to all Warrants, we have further assumed that (i) all terms of Warrants shall have been established in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement; (ii) all Warrants and each related Warrants Agreement, as executed and delivered, do not violate any law applicable to the Company or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company; and (iii) all Warrants and each related Warrant Agreement, as executed and delivered, comply with all requirements and restrictions, if any, applicable to the Company, in any case whether imposed by any court or governmental or regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company.
 
We have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to originals of all copies of all documents submitted to us.  We have relied upon the certificates of all public officials and corporate officers with respect to the accuracy of all matters contained therein.
 
Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that:
 
1.  
The Issued Shares have been duly authorized, validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.
 
2.  
The Conversion Shares will, when converted in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation of the Series A Preferred Stock, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable.

3.  
Assuming that the full consideration for each Warrant Share issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant is received by the Company in accordance with the terms of each Warrant, the  Warrant Shares will, when issued, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable.
 
Nothing herein shall be deemed an opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Nevada.
 
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter with the Commission as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K and to the reference to our firm therein and in the Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Legal Matters.”  In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that this firm is within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
 
Very truly yours,
