What is activated white clay?


Activated white clay, also known as decolorised clay, is a white powder with very fine pores, a natural silicate mineral, the main components are silicate minerals, alumina and calcium oxide, etc. It has the properties of adsorption, ion exchange and catalysis. It is an important inorganic adsorbent, which can adsorb and separate macromolecular compounds, organic molecules and inorganic substances, and is widely used in various fields such as chemical industry, pharmaceuticals, food, oil and grease, cosmetics, water treatment and so on.


In which fields is activated white clay widely used?


1. Chemical industry

Activated white clay can be used as a catalyst, organic matter on its surface for adsorption reactions, used for hydrogenation of fats and oils, oil refining catalytic cracking, the synthesis of industrial mycophenolic and so on, so it is widely used in the chemical industry, is one of the important raw materials in the chemical industry.

2. Pharmaceutical industry

Activated white clay is also widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, can be used in the production process of detergents, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food and feed products. For example, it can be used to purify drugs and intermediates, and used to catalyse chemical reactions in pharmaceuticals, which can greatly improve the efficiency and quality of pharmaceuticals.

3.Food industry

Activated white clay also has a wide range of applications in the food industry, can be used as food additives, feed additives and purification agents. For example, it can be used in deodorisation, decolourisation, removal of odours and pesticide residues to improve food quality.

4. Environmental protection field

Activated white clay can be used for water treatment and air purification, for example, as a water purifier, purifying agent, etc., can effectively remove pollutants, to achieve the purpose of environmental protection.

Third, the summary

Activated white clay is a kind of inorganic adsorbent with the properties of adsorption, ion exchange and catalysis, which is widely used in various fields such as chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, food industry, oil and grease industry, cosmetic industry and water treatment industry, and it is one of the important raw materials in these industries.
