Nanoclay For Water Treatment

Bentonite products are widely used to filter pollutants/toxins from edible oils as well as the human body. When functionalized with specific chemicals, bentonite nanoparticles show remarkable efficiency in filtering specific heavy metals, Radioactive elements, inorganic dye pigments as well as organic compounds. It can be used either as a filter or as a flocculent depending on the nature of the pollutants and the system. Nanoclay can adsorb 100 times more surface particles as compared to activated carbon.
