Huina kemika : (Si12)(Mg8)O30(OH)4(OH2)4·8H2O
ʻO nā Minerale Palolo Silicate Hydrous

ʻO ka mea waiwai nui no ka lepo lepo kai, ʻo ia ka pauka sepiolite, ʻo ia ka mineral pālolo magnesium silicate hydrated i maʻemaʻe, ʻaʻohe mea ʻawaʻawa, ʻala ʻole, a me ka radioactive.Loaʻa iā ia ka ʻāpana kikoʻī kikoʻī nui loa i nā minela non-metallic (kiʻekiʻe a hiki i 900m2/g) a me ka hoʻolālā pore maʻiʻo kūikawā, ʻike ʻia ʻo ia ka mineral adsorption clay mineral ikaika loa.

ʻO kekahi o nā waiwai ili o ka sepiolite (e like me ka ʻakika nāwaliwali o ka ʻili, ka hoʻololi ʻana o nā ion magnesium me nā ion ʻē aʻe, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe) e hoʻohana pono iā ia iho ma ke ʻano he catalyst no kekahi mau hopena.No laila, ʻo ka sepiolite ʻaʻole ia he adsorbent maikaʻi wale nō akā he catalyst maikaʻi a me ka mea lawe catalyst.
