Kugwiritsa ntchito ufa wa diatomite popanga mapepala kumafuna kukonza mwapadera kogwirizana ndi zomwe makampani amagwiritsa ntchito. Madera ena a diatomite amatsukidwa mosamala kuti achotse dongo ndi mchenga. Pambuyo pake, amaumitsa pang'onopang'ono kutentha kuyambira 100-120°C kuti asunge kapangidwe kake kofunikira. Njira zopukutira zimagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga ufa wokhala ndi tinthu tating'ono tosiyanasiyana pakati pa 5-30 μm. Tinthu tating'onoting'ono, tomwe nthawi zambiri timakhala pakati pa 5-15 μm, timagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati utoto wopaka bwino kwambiri pamapepala osindikizira okhala ndi kuwala kwambiri, pomwe tinthu tating'onoting'ono (20-30 μm) timagwira ntchito ngati zodzaza bwino polemba ndi kulongedza mapepala. Mitundu ina ya ufa wa diatomite imakonzedwa pamwamba ndi ma polima a cationic kuti igwirizane ndi ulusi wa cellulose, kuonetsetsa kuti umafalikira mofanana mkati mwa matrix a pulp.

Monga chodzaza mapepala, ufa wa diatomite umaposa njira zina zachikhalidwe monga calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) kapena kaolin m'mbali zambiri. Chikhalidwe chake chokhala ndi mabowo chimapangitsa kuti kuwala kukhale kowala kwambiri, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti pepala lisamawoneke bwino popanda kukwera kwa kulemera kwake. Pakupanga mapepala osindikizira, kugwiritsa ntchito ufa wa diatomite wa 10-15% m'malo mwa ufa wa matabwa kungapangitse kuti TAPPI isamawoneke bwino ndi 10-15%. Izi zimathandiza opanga mapepala kuchepetsa kugwiritsa ntchito ufa wa pulp, zomwe zimathandiza kuchepetsa kudula mitengo komanso kusunga ndalama. Mwachitsanzo, fakitale ya mapepala yaku Finland inaphatikiza ufa wa diatomite wa 8% mu pepala lake losindikizira, zomwe zinapangitsa kuti pakhale kuyera kwambiri kuchokera pa 88% mpaka 96%, kuchepetsa kugwiritsa ntchito ufa wa pulp ndi 12%, komanso kuchepa kwa 18% kwa mtengo wa zinthu zopangira. Kuphatikiza apo, kuyera kwambiri kwa ufa wa diatomite (L* value ≥92) kumatsimikizira kuti pepala limasunga mawonekedwe owala komanso oyera, omwe ndi ofunikira kuti zolemba ndi zithunzi zikhale bwino kwambiri.

Ufa wa Diatomite umathandizanso kuchepetsa zodzaza zachikhalidwe mwa kuwonjezera mphamvu ya makina a pepala. Kapangidwe kake ka mabowo kamathandiza kuti ulusi wa cellulose ugwirizane bwino, ndipo umagwira ntchito ngati "milatho" ikaphatikizidwa mu zamkati. Poyerekeza ndi pepala lodzazidwa ndi CaCO₃, ufa wa diatomite ukhoza kuwonjezera mphamvu yokoka ndi 8-12% ndi kung'ambika ndi 10-15%. Katunduyu ndi wofunika kwambiri pa pepala lopaka, lomwe liyenera kupirira kusamalidwa ndi kunyamulidwa molimbika. Mwachitsanzo, wopanga mapepala opaka ku China, adapeza kusintha kwakukulu pa mphamvu yophulika kuchokera pa 2.5 kPa·m²/g kufika pa 3.2 kPa·m²/g mwa kuphatikiza ufa wa diatomite wa 12% mu pepala lake lopaka, zomwe zimathandiza pepalalo kuthandizira katundu wolemera popanda kulephera.

Kusindikizidwa bwino ndi gawo lina lomwe ufa wa diatomite umapambana. Monga utoto wopaka, umapanga malo osalala komanso ogwirizana omwe amathandizira kuti inki imamatire bwino komanso kuti iberekenso madontho. Mu pepala lopanda matabwa lopakidwa utoto, lomwe limagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri m'magazini ndi m'makatalogu, zokutira zochokera ku ufa wa diatomite zimakhala ndi roughness pamwamba (Ra) ya 0.5-0.8 μm, poyerekeza ndi 1.0-1.2 μm pazophimba zopangidwa ndi kaolin. Malo osalala awa amachititsa kuti madontho osindikizira akhale owala, kuchepetsa kutuluka kwa inki, komanso kunyezimira kwa mitundu. Mayeso amakampani osindikizira akuwonetsa kuti pepala lopakidwa utoto wa diatomite limapeza phindu la madontho a 90-95%, poyerekeza ndi 80-85% pa pepala lopakidwa utoto lachikhalidwe. Kuphatikiza apo, kapangidwe ka madontho a ufa wa diatomite kamayamwa bwino inki yochulukirapo, kuchepetsa nthawi youma ndi 20-25% motero kumawonjezera magwiridwe antchito a makina osindikizira ndikuchepetsa zovuta zopangira.

Ubwino wa ufa wa diatomite popanga mapepala ndi waukulu kwambiri. Mwa kuchepetsa kufunika kwa zamkati, zimachepetsa kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu ndi mpweya woipa womwe umatulutsidwa chifukwa cha kupanga zamkati, zomwe zimaphatikizapo kudula mitengo kwambiri, mayendedwe, ndi kukonza mankhwala. Makampani opanga mapepala omwe amagwiritsa ntchito ufa wa diatomite wa 10% amanena kuti mpweya wa CO₂ umachepa ndi 10-12%. Mosiyana ndi zinthu zopangira zomwe zimatulutsa ma microplastics m'chilengedwe, ufa wa diatomite umawonongeka ndipo suli ndi poizoni. Kukonza madzi otayira kumachepetsedwanso m'mafakitale pogwiritsa ntchito ufa wa diatomite, chifukwa ufawo ukhoza kuchotsedwa pogwiritsa ntchito sedimentation ndikugwiritsidwanso ntchito m'mapepala otsika, kuchepetsa kupanga zinyalala.

Mu mapepala apadera, ufa wa diatomite umapereka mphamvu zapadera zogwirira ntchito. Mu mapepala opakizira mafuta, omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri pa chakudya chofulumira komanso zokhwasula-khwasula, kapangidwe kake kokhala ndi mabowo kamapanga chotchinga chothandiza ku mafuta, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti zikhale zotetezeka m'malo mwa zokutira zopangidwa monga polyethylene (PE). Unyolo wa chakudya chofulumira ku Japan unanena kuti wakula ndi 40% pakukana mafuta atasintha kugwiritsa ntchito pepala losasinthika ndi ufa wa diatomite, pomwe pepalalo limakhalabe ndi manyowa. Mu mapepala otentha, omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito polemba malisiti ndi zilembo, ufa wa diatomite umagwira ntchito ngati chowongolera kutentha, kukulitsa kukhudzidwa kwa kusindikiza ndikuchepetsa kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu, motero kukulitsa moyo wa mitu yosindikizira kutentha.

Popanga pepala ndi ufa wa diatomite, zinthu zingapo ziyenera kuganiziridwa, kuphatikizapo kuyanjana kwa pH, kufalikira, ndi kuchuluka kwa katundu. Ufa wa Diatomite umasonyeza kukhazikika mkati mwa pH yosagwirizana ndi alkaline (6.5-8.0) yomwe imachitika masiku ano popanga mapepala, kuteteza kuwonongeka kwa ulusi chifukwa cha asidi. Kufalikira koyenera, komwe kumachitika pogwiritsa ntchito ma hydropulpers kapena disperser, ndikofunikira kuti tipewe kusonkhana kwa tinthu, komwe kungayambitse zolakwika pamapepala monga madontho kapena mabowo. Kuchuluka kwa katundu kumasiyana malinga ndi momwe amagwiritsidwira ntchito: 5-10% pa pepala losindikizira ndi kulemba, 10-15% pa pepala lolongedza, ndi 15-20% pa pepala lapadera. Kupitirira 20% kungasokoneze kusinthasintha kwa pepala, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti pakhale kusintha kwa ulusi.

Pomaliza, ufa wa diatomite wasintha kwambiri makampani opanga mapepala, zomwe zapereka kupita patsogolo kwakukulu pakusawoneka bwino, mphamvu, kusindikizidwa, komanso kukhazikika. Kuthekera kwake kuchepetsa kugwiritsa ntchito zamkati, kuchepetsa ndalama, ndikuwonjezera magwiridwe antchito a mapepala kumaika chizindikiro ngati chinthu chofunikira kwambiri kwa mphero zomwe zimapanga zinthu zosiyanasiyana zamapepala. Pamene makampaniwa akupitilizabe kuyang'anira chilengedwe komanso kupambana kwa zinthu, kufunikira kwa ufa wa diatomite wapadziko lonse lapansi kwakonzeka kukula kwambiri. Izi zikuwonetsa gawo lofunika kwambiri la zinthuzi popanga tsogolo la kupanga mapepala okhazikika, kuyendetsa zatsopano, ndikukwaniritsa zosowa zomwe ogula ndi mafakitale akusintha. Kuphatikiza ufa wa diatomite mu njira zopangira mapepala kumayimira sitepe yofunika kwambiri pakufunafuna kupanga mapepala ogwira mtima, osawononga chilengedwe, komanso ogwira ntchito bwino.
