Bentonite is a clay generated frequently from the alteration of volcanic ash, consisting mainly of smectite minerals, usually montmorillonite. In addition to montmorillonite, bentonite may also contain quartz, feldspar, calcite and gypsum. Bentonite displays strong colloidal properties and its volume increases several times when coming into contact with water, creating a gelatinous and viscous fluid. The special properties of bentonite (hydration, swelling, water absorption, viscosity, thixotropy) makes it a valuable material for a wide range of uses and applications. LP IMPEX has made considerable investment in Mining and Processing of Bentonite since more than 3 years ago.
