Activated Clay and Industrial Adsorption Applications

What Is Activated Clay?

Activated clay is natural clay whose surface area and adsorption capacity are increased by acid or thermal treatment. Bleaching earth is one of the best-known members of this family in oil and process chemistry.

Key Industrial Uses

• Color and polar-contaminant removal from edible and technical oils

• Process oil and wax bleaching

• Selected wastewater and process-liquid treatment cases

• Chemical purification and color/odor control

Factors That Drive Performance

• Surface acidity and pore distribution

• Oil type and contaminant profile

• Contact time, temperature and mixing

• Filter equipment and cake handling
