General Chemistry
Cleansing clay
Formula:
Al₂O₃ ⋅ 2SiO₂ ⋅ 2H₂O.
GOST/CAS:
CAS 70892-59-0 / ГОСТ 32313-2013 (для бентонитов)
The main purpose is decolorization (bleaching) and purification of liquids. During the refining process, the clay effectively adsorbs coloring pigments (chlorophyll, carotenoids), phospholipids, soaps, oxidation products, and traces of heavy metals from oils and fats. It has a high absorption capacity and good filtration characteristics, making it suitable for use in both the food industry (refining sunflower, soybean, and palm oils) and the oil refining industry (purifying mineral oils, paraffins, and lubricants).
Applications
Refining and bleaching of vegetable oils (sunflower, rapeseed, and palm oil)
Purification of mineral oils, paraffins, and petroleum products
Purification of animal fats and margarine
Key Advantages
High bleaching capacity (effective removal of pigments)
Excellent filtration properties (does not clog filters, low oil capacity)
Comprehensive cleaning (including the removal of heavy metals, soap, and phosphatides)
