Research Summary

Montmorillonite clay, also known as Bentonite, is a type of clay mineral that is widely used in various industries and applications. It is named after the Montmorillon region in France, where it was first discovered. Montmorillonite clay is composed mainly of hydrated aluminum silicate, with other minerals such as magnesium and iron present as well. It is characterized by its high absorbency and swelling properties when mixed with water, which make it valuable for different uses. In industries, montmorillonite clay is commonly utilized in drilling muds for oil and gas exploration, as a binder in foundry molds, in water treatment processes to remove impurities, and as a suspending agent in paints, coatings, and adhesives. In addition, it is found in cosmetic products as an ingredient in facial masks and creams, thanks to its ability to absorb excess oil and impurities from the skin. Montmorillonite clay is also used in agriculture to improve soil quality, retain moisture, and help release nutrients to plants.
