Calcium-based and sodium-based bentonite is the longest seen two forms of bentonite products, calcium-based bentonite about the use of bentonite in China today to give you a summary of the specific industries that use calcium-based bentonite. Is not that sodium-based bentonite must be better than calcium-based bentonite.

Calcium bentonite application industry:

1. Feed production:

As bentonite has a very strong adsorption capacity, can adsorb quite a few types of viral pathogens, such as aflatoxin. The effect is very good, so the use of calcium bentonite this feature, add calcium bentonite in the feed can play to prevent livestock disease rate. Whether high-end feed production or low-end feed production using bentonite are calcium-based;

2. Metallurgical pellet production:

In the smelting industry, some blast furnaces on the PH requirements of the charge is more stringent, do not allow the use of alkaline charge, so this type of blast furnace using the pellet, in the production of bentonite requirements are neutral, so you have to choose calcium-based bentonite, the main reason is that our Chinese sodium-based bentonite are artificially natrified production of the results of the PH in the 8.5-10.0, and therefore is not suitable for the production and use of this particular blast furnace.

3. Pesticide production:

In some pesticide production, the use of some potent pesticides require the slow release of efficacy, that is, the need to add a slow-release agent, bentonite has a very good adsorption capacity, adsorption after the release of the speed of the more moderate, very suitable for pesticide production as a slow-release agent. The use of such products generally require calcium bentonite high purity, good fineness, general purity requirements of 98% or more, fineness of 800 mesh or more.

4. Pharmaceutical production:

In pharmaceutical production, there are two applications, one of which is the production of montmorillonite bulk for the treatment of dysentery, is the depth of purification of bentonite, and then grinding, of course, the heavy metal content of calcium bentonite can not exceed the standard. Secondly, it is similar to the use of pesticide production, in some of the treatment of heart disease and brain disease medicine, the requirements of the efficacy of the release can not be too fast, so join the medicine and calcium bentonite mix, the use of its adsorption capacity, to control the release of efficacy speed.
In short, in China, the use of calcium bentonite above several aspects of the more common industry, there are many other industries will also use calcium bentonite.
