Diatomite ni ibuye ry’ibimera rya siliceous sedimentary, rigizwe ahanini n’ibisigazwa bya diatom za kera. Ibigize shimi byaryo ahanini ni SiO2, birimo Al2O3 nke, Fe2O3, CaO, MgO, K2O, Na2O, P2O5 n’ibintu bikomoka ku bimera. Ibigize mineral ya diatomite ahanini ni opal n’ubwoko bwayo, hagakurikiraho imyunyu ngugu y’ibumba - hydromica, kaolinite n’imyunyu ngugu. Imyunyu ngugu irimo Shi Ying, feldspar, biotite n’ibintu bikomoka ku bimera. Ibigize organic biva ku bipimo birenga 30%. Diatomite ni umweru, imvi, imvi n’umukara woroheje, kandi ifite imiterere myiza, irekuye, yoroheje, ifite imyenge, ifata kandi inyuramo.
Ibikoresho byongeraho irangi rya Diatomite, bifite imyenge myinshi, bikurura cyane, bihamye mu mikorere ya shimi, birwanya kwangirika, ubushyuhe
Ubudahangarwa n'ibindi biranga, bishobora gutanga imiterere myiza y'ubuso bw'imyenda, guhuza, gukomera no gufatana. Kubera ubwinshi bw'imyenge yayo, ishobora kugabanya igihe cyo kuma. Ishobora kandi kugabanya ingano ya resin, ikagabanya ikiguzi.

Porogaramu nyamukuru
Ikoreshwa buri gihe mu irangi rya latex, irangi ry'imbere n'iry'inyuma ku nkuta, irangi rya alkyd resin, irangi rya polyester n'izindi sisitemu zo gusiga,
cyane cyane mu gukora irangi ry’ubwubatsi.
Mu ikoreshwa ry'amabara n'ibishushanyo, ubwiza bw'urusobe rw'amabara bushobora kugenzurwa kimwe, ubwiyongere bw'uburibwe n'ubudahangarwa bw'amabara bushobora kwiyongera, ubushuhe n'impumuro mbi bishobora gukurwaho, umwuka ushobora gusukurwa, kandi imiterere y'ubudahangarwa bw'amajwi, ubudahangarwa n'amazi, ubushyuhe n'ubukonje bwiza biragerwaho.

Diatom mud igizwe ahanini n'ibikoresho karemano bidafite umwimerere, ni ibikoresho bikingira ibidukikije icyatsi kibisi, ubwabyo nta mwanda cyangwa impumuro. Dialgae mud ifite uburyo karemano bwo kurinda ibidukikije, ikoranabuhanga rikoreshwa n'intoki, uburyo bwo kugenzura ubushuhe, umwuka
gutunganya, gutinza umuriro, kugabanya urusaku no gufata amajwi, kubungabunga ubushyuhe no gukingira, kurinda amaso, ku rukuta
kwisukura, kuramba n'ibindi biranga n'imikorere, ni irangi rya latex n'urukuta n'indi mitako gakondo
Ibikoresho ntibishobora kugereranywa.
Ibikoresho byongeramo irangi rya Diatomite bifite imiterere y’ubuso bunini, ubushobozi bwo kwinjiza ibintu buhamye, ubushobozi bwo kudashira, ubushobozi bwo kudashira no kudashyuha.
