What is the main ingredient of bentonite?
The bentonite is non metallic mineral montmorillonite as the main mineral composition, structure of montmorillonite is 2:1 type crystal structure of [1] consists of two silicon oxygen tetrahedron sandwiching a layer of aluminum eight surface body composition, due to the layered structure of montmorillonite crystal cell formation in the presence of some cations, such as Cu, Mg, Na, K, and the cation with montmorillonite crystal cell function is not strong, easy to by other cation exchange, so it has good ion exchange property. Foreign countries have been applied in more than 100 sectors of industry, agriculture and production in 24 fields, and there are more than 300 products, so people call it "omnipotent soil"".
Bentonite is an aqueous clay mineral dominated by montmorillonite. The chemical composition of montmorillonite is (Al2, Mg3) [Si4O10][OH]2, nH2O, because of its special properties.
