I-Diatomaceous earth luhlobo lwelitye le-siliceous elisasazeke kakhulu kumazwe afana neTshayina, i-United States, iJapan, iDenmark, iFransi, iRomania, njl. Lilitye le-Sedimentary le-siliceous le-biogenic, elenziwe kakhulu ngamasalela ee-diatom zamandulo.

Iqulethe inani elincinci le-Al2O3, i-Fe2O3, i-CaO, i-MgO, i-K2O, i-Na2O, i-P2O5, kunye nezinto eziphilayo. I-SiO2 idla ngokubala ngaphezulu kwe-80%, kunye nobuninzi be-94%. Umxholo we-iron oxide womhlaba we-diatomaceous osemgangathweni ngokubanzi yi-1-1.5%, kwaye umxholo we-aluminium oxide yi-3-6%. Ukwakheka kweeminerali ze-diatomite ikakhulu yi-Opal kunye neentlobo zayo, kulandele iiminerali zodongwe i-hydromica, i-Kaolinite kunye neenkunkuma zeeminerali. Iinkunkuma zeeminerali ziquka i-quartz, i-feldspar, i-Biotite kunye nezinto eziphilayo.

I-Diatomaceous earth yenziwe yi-amorphous SiO2 kwaye iqulethe ubungakanani obuncinci be-Fe2O3, CaO, MgO, Al2O3, kunye nokungcola okuphilayo. I-Diatomaceous earth idla ngokuba mthubi okhanyayo okanye ongwevu okhanyayo, ithambile, inemingxuma, kwaye ilula. Isetyenziswa kakhulu kushishino njengezinto zokuthintela ukufudumeza, izinto zokucoca, izizalisi, izinto zokugaya, izinto zokucoca iglasi yamanzi, izinto zokususa umbala, izixhobo zokucoca umhlaba ze-diatomaceous, izithwali ze-catalyst, njl.

Iingenelo zokusebenzisa umhlaba we-diatomaceous: i-pH engathathi cala, ayinatyhefu, ukusebenza kakuhle kokumisa, ukusebenza kakuhle kokufunxa, uxinano olukhanyayo, izinga lokufunxa ioyile le-115%, ubunono obuqala kwi-325 mesh ukuya kwi-500 mesh, ukufana okuhle kokuxuba, ukungabikho kokuvaleka kwemibhobho yoomatshini bezolimo ngexesha lokusetyenziswa, kunokudlala indima yokufumisa umhlaba, kukhulule umgangatho womhlaba, kwandise ixesha elifanelekileyo lesichumisi, kwaye kukhuthaze ukukhula kwezityalo. Ishishini lesichumisi esihlanganisiweyo: Isichumisi esihlanganisiweyo sezityalo ezahlukeneyo ezifana neziqhamo, imifuno, iintyatyambo kunye nezityalo. Iingenelo zokusebenzisa umhlaba we-diatomaceous: umhlaba we-diatomaceous kufuneka usetyenziswe njengesithako kwisamente. Iimveliso zesithako sokufaka isigqubuthelo somhlaba we-diatomaceous zineempawu zokufunxa okuphezulu, ukufunxa ngamandla, iipropati zeekhemikhali ezizinzileyo, ukumelana nokuguguleka, ukumelana nobushushu, njl. Zinokubonelela ngokusebenza kakuhle komphezulu, ukuhambelana, ukutyeba, kunye nokunamathela okuphuculweyo kweengubo. Ngenxa yomthamo wayo omkhulu weembobo, inganciphisa ixesha lokomisa kwengubo. Inganciphisa nobungakanani be-resin esetyenzisiweyo kwaye inciphise iindleko. Le mveliso ithathwa njengemveliso yokugquma esemgangathweni esebenza kakuhle kwaye inexabiso eliphantsi, kwaye ibekwe njengemveliso ngabavelisi abaninzi abakhulu bamazwe ngamazwe, esetyenziswa kakhulu kudaka olusekelwe emanzini olusebenzisa i-diatomaceous.
