I-Bentonite iyiminerali engeyona eyensimbi ene-montmorillonite njengengxenye yamaminerali eyinhloko.Isakhiwo se-montmorillonite siwuhlobo lwekristalu lwesakhiwo esingu-2:1 esakhiwe ama-silicon oxygen tetrahedron amabili ahlanganiswe nongqimba lwe-aluminium oxide octahedron.Ngenxa yokuthi isakhiwo esinezingqimba esakhiwe iseli le-montmorillonite sinamanye ama-cation, njenge-Cu, Mg, Na, K, njll., futhi indima yalawa ma-cation ane-montmorillonite cell ayizinzile kakhulu, kulula ukushintshaniswa ngamanye ama-cation, ine-ion enhle. ikhono lokushintshisana.Kwamanye amazwe, isetshenziswe eminyangweni engaphezu kwe-100 emikhakheni engama-24 yokukhiqizwa kwezimboni nezolimo, enemikhiqizo engaphezu kuka-300, yingakho abantu beyibiza ngokuthi "inhlabathi yendawo yonke".

I-Bentonite yaziwa nangokuthi i-bentonite, i-bentonite, noma i-bentonite.I-China inomlando omude wokuthuthukisa nokusebenzisa i-bentonite, ekuqaleni eyayisetshenziswa njengendawo yokuhlanza.Kwakukhona izimayini zemigodi evulekile endaweni yase-Renshou eSichuan eminyakeni engamakhulu edlule, futhi abantu bendawo babebiza i-bentonite njengempushana yobumba.Isetshenziswa kabanzi ngempela kodwa inomlando weminyaka engaphezu kwekhulu kuphela.Ukutholwa kokuqala e-United States kwakusendaweni yasendulo yase-Wyoming.Ubumba lwe-chartreuse lunganwebeka lube unama ngemva kokwengeza amanzi.Kamuva, abantu babiza lonke ubumba olunale ndawo ngokuthi i-bentonite.Eqinisweni, ukwakheka kwamaminerali okuyinhloko kwe-bentonite yi-montmorillonite, enokuqukethwe okungama-85-90%.Ezinye izakhiwo ze-bentonite nazo zinqunywa yi-montmorillonite.I-Montmorillonite ingaba nemibala ehlukahlukene, njengokuluhlaza okuphuzi, okuphuzi okumhlophe, okumpunga, okumhlophe, njll. Ingenza amabhlogo aminyene noma inhlabathi exegayo, ibe nomuzwa oshelelayo lapho ihlikihlwa ngeminwe.Ngemuva kokungeza amanzi, umthamo wamabhuloki amancane ukhula izikhathi eziningana izikhathi ezingu-20-30, uvela esimweni esimisiwe emanzini, futhi esimweni sokunamathisela lapho kunamanzi amancane.Imvelo ye-montmorillonite ihlobene nokwakheka kwayo kwamakhemikhali kanye nesakhiwo sangaphakathi.
