BENTON™
BLEACHING EARTHS
BENTON™ bleaching earths offer edible oil refiners key-processing ingredient to produce clear, clean and healthy edible oils. BENTON™ bleaching earths are classified into three product families: natural™, performa™, and ultima™. Our product families are designed to offer a range of performance options depending on edible oil origin, oil type, process and expected quality of Refined Edible Oil.
BENTON™ products originate from a diverse mineral deposits located in Kutch, India. The clay in this region features a high active surface area and high micro-pore volume. These features are well suited for the removal of chlorophylls, color bodies, soaps and other impurities from edible oils.
HIGHER PORE VOLUME
HIGHER SURFACE AREA
HIGHER BLEACHING EFFICIENCY
Bentonite – Foundation of our Business
Bentonite contains clay minerals of the smectite group. The main constituent, which is the determinant factor in the clay's properties, is the clay mineral montmorillonite. Bentonite has the particular properties of swelling, high surface area and strong binding properties.
When a Bentonite is treated with acid, sulfonation reaction takes place in presence of temperature and higher then atmospheric pressure. Hence, exchangeable ions are distracted and porosity is generated. In other words, we can say that surface area of Bentonite is enlarge
Porocity & Bleaching Potential
Activation of bentonite results into hight micropore volume combined with a high surface area & acid centres.
