Premium Brown Drilling Bentonite Application: Metallurgy

Bentonite is a type of clay that is composed of volcanic ash. It is used in various industries such as drilling mud, pet waste absorbent, foundry sand bond, and iron ore pelletizing applications. Bentonites contain a variety of accessory minerals in addition to montmorillonite such as quartz, feldspar, calcite and gypsum. The presence of these minerals could impact the industrial value of the deposit, reducing or increasing its value depending on the application. There are different grades of bentonite such as sodium bentonite and calcium bentonite. Sodium bentonite is used for drilling muds, pet waste absorbents, and iron ore pelletizing applications. Calcium bentonite is used for foundry sand bond applications.
