Bentonite is another mineral that has many important applications in various fields, especially in construction. In 2020, the global bentonite market is estimated at 25.7 million tons and is expected to produce about 30 million metric tons of bentonite by 2027. In 2014, Iran was recognized as the second-largest producer of gypsum and the eighth leading producer of bentonite.
Features of Bentonite
Bentonite is a type of volcanic mineral soil and very useful building material that is composed of at least 85% clay. The main feature of bentonite soil is that it swells when in contact with water and liquids. This material has an aluminosilicate structure and is rich in montmorillonite-substitute. In fact, it is a combination of several different minerals. Physically, it has different granules, odorless and creamy white.
Application of Bentonite
Bentonite has various properties like hydration, swelling, water absorption and viscosity. This product can be enormously used in various industries. Bentonite applies in industries such as drilling mud, foundry, paper, construction, Iron binder, ceramic, pottery, etc.
Benefits of Bentonite
As mentioned earlier, bentonite is also used in construction. The use of bentonite soil in construction reduces many costs and has significant benefits, including:
- To prevent drilling falls, it protects it by creating hydrostatic pressure on the walls
- To act like glue and does not flow in the drilling area
- To harden the concrete without any reaction with cement and special intervention
