Ngaphandle kwe oyili ye hemp lesetjentisa etintfweni letiningi letifana nekomisa tintfo letinapende, njengentfo lefakwa ngetulu kwapende phindze nekufakwa kwentfolemanti, lesitjalo se hemp (Cannabis sativa) ingasetjetntiswa njengemaphepha, kutsi atsatse itoxin kusuka emhlabatsini kanye nendlela yaphethiloki.
HeiHemp NjengeLiphepha
Kusetjentiswa kwe liphepha yi hemp kungabukwa emuva ngetikhatsi ta 200 kuya ku 150 B.C. ngesikhatsi iChina yentiwe kutsi ibe yintfo lelungisa ipulp ye hemp ibe liphepha lelincane noma lelincama. Ngetikhatsi tesikhombisa, emaphepha entiwa eMidlle East kanye nase China. Lokusetjentiswa kwe hemp emaphepheni kwasakaka kwafika e westward. Emabhayibheli kanye netincwadzi tebabhali labafana na Mark Twain takhokhwa kuphepha lehemp kwatsi eRussia ihemp yasetjentiselwa kukhokha imali kanye netitembu.
Liphepha lingentiwa kusuka ku fibre lendze noma ifibre lemfisha leyakhiwa kusuka kufibre lendze lencama futsi iyahwaya. Liphepha lelakhiwe ngefibre lemfisha ye pulp ingahle ingabi ngulecinile, kepha ibelula ekwakheni, lokumelula kanye nalokulungele kusetjentiswa onkhe malanga. Ngekwengeta, ihemp isebentiswa kahle njenge hemp kuphela itsatsa emalanga lalikhulu nemashumi lamabili kutsi ikhule ize ibesezingeni lekucatsaniswa kuleminyaka kutsatsa sihlahla kutsi sikhule.
iHemp NjengeSipontji se Phoyizeni
Titjalo te hemp tingasetjentiswa kunchubo yekufaka umhlabatsi kususa kuphoyizini, kususa lephoyizini kulomhlabatsi njengesipontji. iHemp yasetjentiswa kususa tintfo temsakato kusuka emhlabatsini kulandzela umonakalo we msakato eChernobyl eRussia ngemnyaka wa 1986.
Lucwalingo lolungetiwe ngemnyaka wa 2012 kwakhomba kutsi ihemp ibamba icadmium kusuka emhlabatsini kanjalo. iCadmium ngumkhicito losuka ekumeni kwephethiloli yekudla. iHemp ingahlobisa phoyizini emhlabatsini kufaka emametal, emakhemikhali labulala tilwane, oyili lokabi kanye nephoyizini endzaweni noma ensimini. iHemp ikhula kumhlabatsi lona phoyizini kumele usetjentiswe ekufakeni kumuntfu.
iHemp Njengentf ye Phethiloli
Bacwalingi base Nyuvesi yase Connecticut leyatfola kutsi gasolina angakhiwa kusuka kutinhlavu te hemp. Lolucwalingo lwalenyuvesi lukhomba kutsi oyili we hemp bowuna 97% wesilinganiso kutintfo tagasolina nekutsi logasolina ulungele nomanguyphi injini yagasolina.
Lolokusele kwalesitjalo kungasetjentiswa ekukhokheni le ethanol noma methanol. Ngalesinye sikhatsi itsatfwa njenge ‘’hempanol’’ noma ‘’ihempoline’’ lenanhlobo yagasolina yakhiwe ngenchubo lebitwa nge cellulolysis lehlalako nalebilisako le hemp kutsi ikhokhe le ethanol. Le ethanol iyabiliswa ngemuva kwekukhokha lentfo yesitjalo bese le methanol ikhokhwa ngemuva kwekubila lokomile kwesigodvo sepulp ye hemp.
