Calcium Bentonite

Bentonite usually forms from weathering of volcanic ash, most often in the presence of water. Bentonite is an absorbent aluminium phyllosilicate clay consisting mostly of montmorillonite. The different types of bentonite are each named after the respective dominant element, such as potassium (K), sodium (Na), calcium (Ca), and aluminium (Al). For industrial purposes, two main classes of bentonite exist: sodium and calcium bentonite.

The chemical formula of Bentonite is Al2H2Na2O13Si4 (Sodium) and Al2H2O12Si4 (Calcium)

Bentonite is a naturally occurring clay with exceptional swelling, absorbent, and binding properties. Widely used in industries such as drilling, construction, agriculture, and cosmetics, it serves as a versatile solution for sealing, purifying, and stabilizing applications.

Bentonite is a clay consisting mainly of smectite minerals, commonly formed by decomposition of volcanic ash or tuff, or sometimes from other igneous or sedimentary rocks. Bentonite is a very plastic clay that shrinks (or swells) markedly in response to the removal (or addition) of water. The main uses of bentonite are in drilling mud and as a binder, purifier, absorbent, and carrier for fertilizers or pesticides. As of around 1990, almost half of the US production of bentonite was used as drilling mud. Minor uses include filler, sealant, and catalyst in petroleum refining.

Bentonite

1. Sodium Bentonite
High swelling capacity

Excellent water absorption

Forms a gel-like consistency in water

Used in drilling muds, sealing ponds, and construction

2. Calcium Bentonite
Lower swelling properties

Better for absorption and surface bonding

Common in cosmetics, animal feed, and pharmaceuticals

â??ï¸? Key Properties
High water absorption

Strong binding capabilities

Thixotropic (gel-like when agitated)

Chemical stability

Thermal stability

Cation-exchange capacity
