Sodium bentonite can be combined with elemental sulfur as fertilizer prills. These permit slow oxidation of the sulfur to sulfate, a plant nutrient needed for some crops like onions or garlic, which synthesize a lot of organo-sulfur compounds, and maintain sulfate levels in rainfall-leached soil longer than either pure powdered sulfur or gypsum. Sulfur/bentonite pads with added organic fertilizers have been used for organic farming.

CALCIUM BENTONITE:  Calcium bentonite is a useful adsorbent of ions in solution, as well as fats and oils. It is the main active ingredient of fuller’s earth, probably one of the earliest industrial cleaning agents.

Calcium bentonite is a soft, porous, and fine-grained clay material that is composed of montmorillonite, a type of phyllosilicate mineral. It is typically gray or tan in color, and it has a high cation exchange capacity, which means it can exchange ions with other materials. Calcium bentonite also has the ability to expand when wet and contract when dry, which makes it an ideal material for sealing and stabilizing.

 

Calcium bentonite is a versatile clay material that has been widely used in various industries, including construction. It is a type of clay that is rich in calcium, and it has the ability to absorb water and other impurities, making it an excellent material for construction purposes.

 

People have been using calcium bentonite clay for centuries as a way to detoxify the body, improve digestion, improve skin tone, and more.

Bentonite clay

Bentonite is a natural, absorbent clay formed from altered volcanic ash. It's named after Fort Benton, Montana, where it was discovered. Bentonite is a type of montmorillonite clay, rich in minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron. When mixed with water, it swells to many times its dry size, absorbing moisture from the surrounding soil. Bentonite has many uses. Bentonite has been used in skincare for centuries.

SODIUM BENTONITE: Sodium bentonite expands when wet, absorbing as much as several times its dry mass in water. Because of its excellent colloidal properties, it is often used in drilling mud for oil and gas wells and boreholes for geotechnical and environmental investigations. The property of swelling also makes sodium bentonite useful as a sealant, since it provides a self-sealing, low-permeability barrier. It is used to line the base of landfills, for example. Various surface modifications to sodium bentonite improve some rheological or sealing performance in geo-environmental applications, for example, the addition of polymers.
