Ko te Diatomite (oneone diatomaceous) he toka parataiao ngohengohe, māmā, he rite ki te siliceous i hangaia mai i ngā toenga o ngā diatom wai tawhito—he rimurimu pūtau-kotahi me ngā anga silica. Ko te nuinga o te mea he mea hanga mai ite silica kore-kiriata (SiO₂, 80%–90%), me te iti o te alumina, te waikura rino, me ngā mea rauropi, he hanganga ahurei tōna, he nui te porous (tae atu ki te 90%), he whānui te horahanga mata motuhake, he kaha te mimiti, he koretake te matū, me te ātete ki te wera. Hei kohuke kore-paitini, he hoa-taiao, he whānui te whakamahinga i roto i te tātari kai, te maimoatanga wai, te tiaki taiao, te hanga, me ngā whakakī ahumahi.

Ka tukatukahia te diatomite mata mā te kuru, te whakamaroke, te huri, me te purenga (te horoi, te wehenga aukume, te whakapūkara) hei tango i ngā paru uku, te kuata, me te rino. Kei roto i ngā taumata parakore teiteiSiO₂ ≥85%, mā ≥85%, Fe₂O₃ iti (<1.5%), me te rahi o te matūriki kua whakahaeretia (10–200 μm), kia rite ai te mahi tātari, te mimiti, me te whakakī mahi.

Nā te rite o ngā pūwero iti o te diatomite (0.1–10 μm) he mea tino pai hei āwhina tātari, hei hopu i ngā matūriki angiangi me te tuku i te wai kia rere.

• Kai me te Inu: Ka whakamārama i te pia, te waina, te wai hua, me te tirikara mā te tango i te rewena, te huakita, me ngā totoka i whakatārewatia, ka whakapai ake i te māramatanga me te roa o te rokiroki.
• Te Maimoatanga WaiKa tango i ngā konganuku taumaha (Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺), ngā poke rauropi, me ngā kakara kino mai i ngā wai para ahumahi, te wai o te tāone, me ngā puna kaukau.
• Ngā rongoā: Tātari i ngā paturopi, ngā wai ā-waha, me ngā hua koiora hei purenga parakore.

Mā te hanganga pūwero o te diatomite ka taea tete whakahaere i te makuku, te horoi i te hau, te whakamarumaru oro, me te tiaki wera.

• Paru Diatom (Panianga Pakitara)Ka mimiti/tuku i te makuku hei ārai i te harore, ka mimiti i te formaldehyde, te benzene, me ngā VOC, ā, ka whakaiti i te haruru—e mōhiotia ana ko te "taiepa manawa".
• Ārai MamaWhakamahia i roto i ngā pereki wera, ngā papa whakamahana, me ngā arai ātete wera mō te ātete pāmahana teitei (tae atu ki te 1400°C) me te kawe wera iti.

Hei whakakī whakapakari, ka whakarei ake i ngā āhuatanga hangarau me te ngāwari o te tukatuka i roto i ngā polymer.

• Ngā Peita me ngā PaningaKa whakapai ake i te roa, te ātete ki te rakuraku, me te āhua matte; ka whakaiti i te taunga.
• Rapa me ngā KirihouKa whakanui ake i te pakari, te ātete ki te wera, me te pumau o ngā āhuatanga; ka whakaiti i te utu.
• AhuwhenuaKa mimiti i ngā patupatu/tonga hei tukunga puhoi; ka mahi hei patupatu taiao mā te kino i ngā angaanga o waho o te patupatu.

Ka tukuna e mātou he diatomite mata, kua horoia, kua whakapūkaratia, me te mata kua whakarerekētia, me ngā rahi matūriki me ngā taumata parakore ka taea te whakarite. Ka tutuki ngā hua i ngā paerewa ISO 9001, REACH, me te haumaru kai, e mahi ana ki ngā ahumahi tātari, taiao, me te hanga o te ao. Kei te wātea ngā tauira kore utu me te tautoko hangarau.
