Korvanto Bentonite

Bentonite is a naturally occurring clay primarily composed of the mineral montmorillonite. It is known for its excellent swelling water absorption binding sealing and adsorption properties making it suitable for applications across drilling foundry iron ore pelletization civil engineering animal feed paper pharmaceuticals cosmetics and many other industries.

The two main natural types are Sodium Bentonite and Calcium Bentonite. Depending on the intended application bentonite may also be processed activated or modified to achieve specific performance characteristics required for industrial use.

Bentonite is widely used in: Oil & Gas Drilling Water Well Drilling Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) Foundries Iron Ore Pelletization Civil Engineering & Piling Animal Feed Agriculture & Fertilizers Paper & Pulp Pharmaceuticals Cosmetics Cat Litter Environmental Sealing Construction Water Treatment

Bentonite offers a unique combination of high swelling capacity excellent water absorption strong binding properties good rheological performance sealing capability and high cation exchange capacity. These characteristics make it one of the most versatile industrial minerals available.

Sodium bentonite is known for its high swelling capacity superior water absorption and excellent viscosity making it ideal for drilling fluids civil engineering sealing and environmental applications. Calcium bentonite has lower swelling characteristics but offers good adsorption and binding properties making it suitable for applications such as animal feed agriculture absorbents and certain industrial processes. The appropriate type depends on the intended application and performance requirements.

Montmorillonite is the primary clay mineral found in bentonite and is responsible for most of its valuable properties including swelling water absorption binding sealing and cation exchange capacity (CEC). In general a higher montmorillonite content contributes to improved performance although the required level varies depending on the intended application and industry.

Activated bentonite is bentonite that has been chemically or thermally processed to enhance specific properties for particular applications. Acid-activated bentonite is commonly used in edible oil purification bleaching and chemical processing while soda activation improves the swelling and rheological properties of calcium bentonite for applications such as drilling fluids and civil engineering. The activation method depends on the desired end use.

Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) is a measure of bentonite's ability to attract hold and exchange positively charged ions. This property contributes to its adsorption performance binding efficiency and interaction with water and other materials. CEC is particularly important in applications such as agriculture animal feed environmental remediation and water treatment where ion exchange plays a significant role in product performance.

Bentonite should be stored in a clean dry and well-ventilated area protected from moisture rain and contamination. Bags should be kept sealed until use and preferably stored on pallets away from direct contact with the floor. Proper storage helps preserve product quality flowability and performance throughout its shelf life.
