Physical properties and applications of calcium based bentonite


Physical properties and applications of calcium based bentonite

 

The main difference between calcium based bentonite and sodium based bentonite is the interlayer cation. The interlayer cation of calcium based bentonite is Ca2. Below, I will introduce its physical properties and applications.

 

The physical properties of calcium based bentonite are that it is a white or gray white powder, insoluble in water, organic solvents, and oil, and has a large effective pore volume. Therefore, it has good adsorption capacity and a large adsorption capacity. Calcium based bentonite is non-toxic, has a fast filtration speed, low oil content, and good thermal stability.

 

Calcium based bentonite is used as a binder, decolorizer, adsorbent, catalyst, thickener, thixotropic agent, etc. in industries such as chemical, metallurgical pellets, casting, drilling, etc. It is used as a binder in asbestos insulation, and calcium based bentonite is used as an absorbent in radioactive waste.

Adsorption capacity of bentonite

Adsorption is a natural phenomenon in the presence of all solid substances. The phenomenon of certain molecules gathering on the surface of bentonite is called the adsorption of bentonite.

Activated clay

Activated clay is an adsorbent made from clay (mainly bentonite) as raw material, which is subjected to inorganic acidification treatment, followed by water rinsing and drying. Its appearance is milky white powder, odorless, tasteless, and has strong adsorption performance. It can adsorb colored and organic substances.

Bentonite is a non-metallic mineral with montmorillonite as the main mineral component

The chemical composition of montmorillonite is (Al2, Mg3) Si4O10OH2 · nH2O. Because of its special properties, such as swelling, cohesiveness, adsorption, catalysis, thixotropy, suspension and cation exchange, it is widely used in various industrial fields.
