Diatomite idombo resiliceous. Diatomite inoumbwa neSiO2 isina chimiro uye ine huwandu hushoma hweFe2O3, CaO, MgO, Al2O3 uye tsvina yeorganic. Zvakanakira zvekushandiswa kwediatomite: 1: pH isina chimiro, isina chepfu, kushanda zvakanaka kwekumisa, kushanda kwakasimba kwekunyungudutsa, huremu hushoma, 2: diatomite inofanira kushandiswa sekuwedzera mune simende, 3: kuwedzera kwakanaka, simba guru rekukanda, simba rekukwesha, simba rekutsemura, kukuya kwemukati kwakareruka uye kwakapfava, simba rakanaka rekumanikidza, nezvimwewo. Zvakanakira zvekushandiswa kwediatomite: pH isina chimiro, isina chepfu, kupfava kubva pa120 kusvika 1200 mesh, Yakareruka uye yakapfava, uye inozadza pendi yemhando yepamusoro. Indasitiri yezvikafu: zvinowedzera zvenguruve, huku, madhadha, mahanzi, hove, shiri, zvigadzirwa zvemumvura nezvimwe zvekudya. Kushandiswa kwediatomite kune zvakanakira zvishanu: dziviriro yakasimba yezuva, chimiro chakapfava uye chakajeka, uye mafiller emhando yepamusoro anogona kubvisa kusvibiswa kweganda rezvigadzirwa zvebharuni: kugona kwechiedza, kukosha kwePH kwakaderera, hupfu husina chepfu, hupfu hwakapfava uye hwakatsetseka, kushanda zvakanaka kwesimba, kudzivirira zuva uye kuramba kupisa kwakanyanya. Diatomite inoshandiswa mukuputira, pendi, kurapwa kwetsvina nedzimwe nzvimbo. Zvigadzirwa zvekuwedzera zvekuputira zveDiatomite zvine hunhu hwekukora kukuru, kunyudzwa kwakasimba, kugadzikana kwemakemikari, kuramba kupfeka, kuramba kupisa, nezvimwewo, izvo zvinogona kupa kushanda kwakanaka pamusoro, kukwirira, kukora uye kunatsiridza kunamira kwependi. Nekuda kwehuwandu hwayo hukuru hwemaburi, inogona kupfupisa nguva yekuomesa yefirimu rekuputira. Inogona zvakare kuderedza huwandu hweresin uye kuderedza mutengo. Chigadzirwa ichi chinoonekwa semhando yehupfu hwemachira ependi hunoshanda zvakanyanya uye hunoshanda zvakanaka. Chave chichishandiswa zvakanyanya mumatope ediatom akavakirwa mumvura sechigadzirwa chakatsanangurwa nevagadziri vependi vakawanda vakuru pasi rose.
