Umhlaba we-Diatomaceousukuhlunga kuyisinyathelo esibalulekile ekukhiqizeni okuthembekile nokungashintshi kwamafutha emifino, amafutha adliwayo, kanye nemikhiqizo yokudla ehlobene.

Umhlaba we-Diatomaceousizinsiza zokuhlunga zinesisindo esilula, azifani namakhemikhali, futhi zakha amakhekhe okuhlunga i-porosity ukuze kugcinwe ukugeleza okukhululekile koketshezi.Ngokukhethekile, isihlungi esisebenzayo sibonakala ngokulandelayo:

Ukwakheka kwezinhlayiya kumele kube ngendlela yokuthi ngeke ziqoqeke ndawonye eduze, kodwa zizokwakha amaqebelengwane angama-85% kuya ku-95% wesikhala sezimbotshana.Lokhu akuvumeli nje kuphela amazinga okugeleza aphezulu aphezulu, kodwa futhi kunikeza izimbotshana ezimbotshana zokudoba futhi ziqukathe okuqinile okuhluzwayo kuyilapho kushiya iphesenti eliphezulu lamashaneli evulekile ukuze ligeleze.
