Bentonite is a natural mixture of various clay minerals formed by the weathering of volcanic ash. It was named after the first site where it was found near Fort Benton, Wyoming (USA).
The main component of bentonite is montmorillonite, an aluminum hydrosilicate from the group of phyllosilicates, which gives bentonite its special properties.

Special properties:

-Strong swelling capacity: When combined with water, bentonite increases its surface area many times over.
- High adsorption power: It can bind several times its own weight in pollutants.
- Ion exchange: Pollutants are effectively bound by exchanging ions - similar to zeolite, but with a slightly different mineral structure.

Chemical formula: H₂Al₂O₆Si
English: Bentonite Clay

Versions:
