I-Hydrous Magnesium Silicate Clay Minerals

Impahla eyinhloko yodaka lodaka lolwandle i-sepiolite powder, okuyi-hydrated magnesium silicate clay mineral ehlanzekile, engenabuthi, engenaphunga, futhi engeyona imisebe.Inendawo enkulu kakhulu ethile kumaminerali angewona awensimbi (okuphezulu Kufika ku-900m2/g) kanye nesakhiwo sembotshana eyingqayizivele yokuqukethwe, ibonwa njengenye i-adsorption clay mineral enamandla kakhulu.

Ezinye zezinto ezingaphezulu ze-sepiolite (ezifana ne-asidi ebuthakathaka yendawo engaphezulu, ukushintshwa kwama-ion e-magnesium namanye ama-ion, njll.) ziyenza yona ngokwayo ibe wusizo njengesisusa sokusabela okuthile.Ngakho-ke, i-sepiolite ayiyona nje i-adsorbent enhle kodwa futhi i-catalyst enhle kanye ne-catalyst catalyst.
