Bentonite is a remarkable natural resource that plays a critical role in many industries. As industries continue to seek sustainable and effective materials, bentonite is poised to remain a key player in the global market. For customers looking for reliable, high-quality bentonite, our company offers tailored solutions that meet a wide range of needs. Introduction to Bentonite Bentonite is a highly versatile clay known for its unique properties, including swelling, viscosity, and adsorption. Formed from the weathering of volcanic ash, bentonite contains predominantly montmorillonite clay minerals. Its unique properties make it essential in various industries, ranging from oil drilling to health and beauty. Properties of Bentonite Bentonite's key properties stem from its mineralogical composition. It can absorb substantial amounts of water, which allows it to expand and form gel-like masses. This makes it extremely useful as a sealing agent, binder, and purification substrate. The typical elemental makeup includes high levels of silica and aluminum, with smaller amounts of calcium, magnesium, and iron, which confer its ability to bond and react with other substances. Bentonite Formula and Elemental Composition: Bentonite is primarily composed of montmorillonite, a type of clay mineral that belongs to the larger family of phyllosilicates. Montmorillonite itself can vary slightly in chemical composition, but generally, it can be represented by a simplified formula: Na,Ca0.33(Al,Mg)2(Si4O10)(OH)2nH2O. The elemental makeup of bentonite includes a mix of several primary elements which contribute to its properties: Silicon (Si, (Aluminum (Al), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Sodium (Na), Oxygen (O) and Hydrogen (H). Mining and Production of Bentonite The mining of bentonite is a meticulous process that involves extracting material from open-pit mines. The extracted bentonite is then refined and processed into various grades, depending on its intended use. Major bentonite mining regions include the Western United States, Greece, and Australia, where mining techniques are designed to minimize environmental impact while maximizing yield. Applications of Bentonite Bentonite has a wide range of applications due to its versatile properties. It is used in drilling mud for oil and gas wells, as a binder in the foundry industry, in environmental applications such as landfill liners, and as a carrier in fertilizers. It also finds applications in personal care products, due to its absorbent and viscosity-modifying properties.
Eco-Friendly Bentonite for Fertilizer being an eco-friendly carrier of fertilizers and is widely accepted by NPK fertilizer manufacturers. It enhance microbial activities and improves the fertility of the soils, provides an envelope to grain thereby reducing loss of product, keeps grain dry, act as an soil activator & has many others characteristics. It seals lower bed of the soil to reduce percolation of water and decreases water pollution. It acts as a soil activator and turns saline soil into neutral. Helps to increase the dark colour of the leaves, enhancing thereby it s photosynthesis process which is very important for the growth and good health of the plant. There is an appreciable increase in the yields of the crops due to improved soil health.

General Description: Vermiculite {(Mg, Fe, Al)3(Al, Si)4O10(OH)2 - 4H2O, Hydrated Magnesium Iron Aluminum Silicate Hydroxide} is an important member of the Montmorillonite/Smectite Group, members of which also belong to the larger general group known as the Clays. Vermiculite is also sometimes placed in the Mica Group, although recent analysis has excluded it from this group. Vermiculite is basically overly hydrated biotite or phlogopite. Natural specimens originated as these minerals and later altered to vermiculite through weathering or hydrothermal processes. Vermiculite typically forms small platy mica like crystals. These crystals contain water in their structures and when heated to above 870C, the water turns into steam causing the crystals to expand rapidly. The volume increase can be 2000 to even 3000%. Appearance: Flakes or powder Applications Vermiculite is very useful for many industrial purposes. It is very lightweight, chemically non-reactive, fire resistant and odorless. Vermiculite can be used to soak up such toxic liquids as fertilizers, herbicides and insecticides. It is this ability that is also being put to good use as a bedding for pets and livestock. In addition, vermiculite can be used in concrete and ceramics as a heat resistant additive. Important Properties Vermiculite is usually brown to golden brown, also white, colorless or yellow. Luster is pearly to greasy. Its Crystals are translucent and Crystal System is monoclinic; 2/m. Its Crystal Habits include pseudohexagonal tabular crystals or "books", also found in compact or lamellar masses or microscopic crystals. The Cleavage is perfect in one direction, basal. Fracture is uneven to lamellar. The Hardness is 1.5 (can sometimes leave marks on paper). The Specific Gravity is 2.3 (below average). Its crystals expand to many times their original volume when heated. Best Field Indicators are softness, color, luster and expandability when heated.
