Bentonite
is naturally occurring industrial rock, characterized by the property
of absorbing water and capacity for Base Exchange. It is generated
frequently from the alteration of volcanic ash, consisting
predominantly of smectite minerals, usually montmorillonite.
Bentonite is processed to give sodium and calcium montmorillonite,
activated clays, and organo-clays all of which have different
properties that can be applied in wide range of uses and
applications. It has special properties such as hydration, swelling,
water absorption, viscosity, and thixotropy. Different types of
bentonite are each named after the respective dominant element such
as potassium, sodium, calcium, and aluminium.

Bentonite
is used in foundry application in the preparation of molding sand for
the production of iron, steel, and non-ferrous casting as a bonding
material. Production of high quality casting is possible because of
bentonite’s good flowability, compactability, and thermal
stability. Bentonite is used for cat litter as it provides the
advantage of absorbing refuse by forming clumps (which can be easily
removed) leaving the remaining product intact for further use. It is
used as a mud constituent for oil and water well drilling.
Bentonite
is used as a filler in pharmaceuticals due to its
absorption/adsorption functions. It allows paste formation and its
applications include industrial protective creams, wet compresses,
calamine lotion, and antiirritants for eczema. In medicine, bentonite
is used as an antidote in heavy metal poisoning. Personal care
products such as mud packs, sunburn paint, baby and facepowders, and
face creams may all contain bentonite. Bentonites are used for
decolorizing various mineral, vegetable, and animal oils. They are
also used for clarifying wine, liquor, cider, beer, mead, and vinegar
owing to its adsorption properties.

Market
Dynamics
A major
driver for growth of the global bentonite market is rising
construction industry. Bentonite slurries are used in the
construction of special foundations for digging diaphragm walls and
bored piles. Governments of various countries are investing heavily
on various construction activities. For instance, the government of
Dubai announced awarding of 47 contracts valued at US$ 4.3 billion in
January 2017 for Dubai Expo 2020. Furthermore, budget for
infrastructure increased by 46.5 % in 2018 as compared to 2017,
accounting for 21% of the total government expenditure in Dubai due
to Expo 2020.
