Fuller's Earth Powder / Lumps
Fuller's Earth Powder / Lumps
Fuller's Earth Powder / Lumps is a natural clay material that has the ability to absorb oils, greases, and other impurities. It primarily consists of hydrous aluminum silicates, with the presence of montmorillonite, kaolinite, or palygorskite, depending on the source.Its primary property is its high adsorptive capacity, making it useful in various industries.
Key uses include:
- Adsorbents: Removing oils, greases, and impurities from industrial processes.
- Decontamination: Cleaning up oil and chemical spills.
- Cosmetics: Absorbing excess oils in skincare products like face masks.
- Pharmaceuticals: Adsorbing toxins in the body.
- Bleaching and Filtration: Removing pigments and impurities from oils and petroleum.
- Agriculture: Enhancing soil quality.
Its versatility and non-toxic nature make it valuable in multiple sectors.
Activated Fuller's Earth Powder
Activated Fuller's Earth Powder
Activated Fuller's Earth powder is a processed form of Fuller's Earth that has undergone chemical treatment and thermal treatment to enhance its adsorptive properties. This activation process typically involves treating the clay with acids, which increases its surface area and pore structure, making it more effective at adsorbing a wider range of impurities.
- Enhanced Adsorption: Higher surface area for better removal of impurities like oils, colors, and contaminants.
- Faster Performance: Works more efficiently in industrial applications, such as oil refining.
- Broader Applications: Suitable for decolorizing, purifying fuels, and treating waste oils.
