  • What is a bleaching clay?
  • T term "bleaching clay" or "bleaching earth," as used in the oil in- HE dustries, refers to clays that in their natural state, or after chemi- cal or physical activation, have the capacity for adsorbing coloring mat- ter from oil. There are three common types of bleaching clays: fuller's earth, activated clays, and activated bauxite.
  • What is bentonite clay?
  • Bentonite clay is one of the important phyllosilicates minerals from the smectite group of minerals and contained mostly of Mont montmorillonite. Mainly-two types of bentonite exist, calcium bentonite and sodium bentonite.
  • Can bentonite clay be used in catalysis?
  • Raw bentonite clay cannot directly have applied in catalysis it needs to be activated. The activation of bentonite results in an increase in the number of active sites, increase the pore volume, increase the surface area, etc. The major process of activation is thermal and acid activation.
  • What percentage of bentonite is used for bleaching oils?
  • Because of the much greater increase in tonnage for other uses since that time, the proportion of bentonite used for bleaching oils is now only about 25 pct of the total, although it also has increased to some extent.
  • How is bentonite bleached in Indonesia?
  • Indonesia produces more than 32 million tons of CPO annually, where AAB is the most common bleaching agent used in the bleaching process. Acid-activation, however, is not an efficient process, as mentioned previously. Alkali- and thermal-treatment are other methods for activating bentonite.
  • Can bentonite be used for bleaching earth?
  • A simple and green process for producing bleaching earth is developed. The mixing of bentonite from Pacitan (GS) with bentonite from Ponorogo (SS) at wt.% weight ratio of 3:2 and heating the mixture at 150 °C until its moisture content around 12% to yield a BE with high adsorption capacity.
