The finished sugar purified by attapulgite clay, with its color, body, concentration, reducing sugar content, pH value, ion content, chloride content,Protein ContentThe sugar refining temperature and the content of calcium and magnesium ions all meet current industry standards. This saves about 60% of decolorization treatment costs, and the filter cake after decolorization can be used as mixed feed, reducing environmental pollution and achieving comprehensive utilization.
9. Wastewater Treatment
Regardless of the adsorption process or wastewater treatment, attapulgite clay can be regenerated, consuming less energy and highly beneficial for environmental protection. The order of adsorption capacity for attapulgite clay is: water > alcohol > acid > aldehyde > straight-chain alkenes > neutral fats > aromatic hydrocarbons > naphthenes > alkanes, straight-chain hydrocarbons adsorb faster than branched-chain hydrocarbons, and the adsorption selectivity plays a significant role in the decolorization of oils. It also holds significant industrial value in other separation processes.
The conventional methods of water purification involve coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, and chemical treatment, which are generally effective in removing most impurities and killing most microorganisms. However, these methods are not very effective in removing substances like hormones, pesticides, viruses, toxins, and heavy metal ions. These harmful substances remain in the water source, posing a threat to human health. Attapulgite clay, on the other hand, can be used to treat water through contact or filtration techniques, effectively eliminating these harmful substances. To regenerate the clay that has adsorbed pollutants, it can be heated or treated with chemicals. Therefore, the application of attapulgite clay in wastewater treatment is crucial for protecting the ecological environment and ensuring human health, as it meets the needs of social development and the improvement of people's living standards on a large scale.
10. Brewing Industry
Clay can be used to clarify wines, apple ciders, beers, and other alcoholic beverages, removing various sediments and impurities, resulting in a pure quality.
11. Detergent Aid
Alternative main洗涤助剂 for laundry detergents and shampoosTrisodium(STPP). As a country with a large population, our annual demand for detergents exceeds one million tons, with over 300,000 tons of washing aids required. The main washing aid is sodium tripolyphosphate. Due to its significant environmental harm, Western countries have banned its use, and China is gradually restricting its usage. Bentonite, with its strong chelating ability for calcium and magnesium ions, is an ideal washing aid. Added to its lower price, it is an ideal substitute for sodium tripolyphosphate.

14. Cosmetics
Selected ball clay, when used as raw material in cosmetics, offers excellent smoothness, adhesion, and breathability, particularly suitable for foundations, blushes, powders, and other cosmetic products. Its porous nature allows for the absorption of aromatic substances (perfumes, fragrances) in the clay, creating a controlled-release aromatic agent that can maintain a stable scent for over 6 months. In mosquito coils, clay serves as a filling material, used at a concentration of 10% to 50%. When combined with other materials, it can be employed as the absorbent core in liquid mosquito coils, ensuring adequate evaporation at lower heating temperatures.
