Calcium Bentonite Clay Powder Used In Animal Feed

Bentonite is a kind of clay rock, also known as montmorillonite clay rock, usually bentonite contains a small amount of illite, kaolinite, elastonite, chlorite, zeolite, quartz, feldspar, calcite, etc.It is white, flaxen commonly, because contain iron quantity change to show shallow ash, shallow green, pink, brown is red, brick is red, gray-black to wait again.

In fact, bentonite also has a certain adsorption of oil and cleaning, so it is widely used in cosmetics.For example, we often add bentonite in the face mask products to remove blackheads, which is also because bentonite has certain oil absorption and cleaning effect.

The main mineral composition of bentonite is montmorillonite.Montmorillonite is a kind of silicate mineral with water-bearing layered structure. Under electron microscope, montmorillonite presents extremely fine scale or villous morphology.When they absorb water, they expand and disperse into a paste.In addition, the layered structure of montmorillonite crystal exists between magnesium 2 +, Na + cation, such as the cation can other cationic exchange with the outside world, so the bentonite will have very good adsorption and ion exchange capacity, because of the features so bentonite ( especially calcium bentonite) is widely used in cosmetics, and many industrial products.
