Spray Drying of Bentonite / Zeolite with the Mini Spray Dryer B-290
Spray drying is a technique that is commonly used for the production of powders from liquid solutions or suspensions. One such application is the spray drying of bentonite and zeolite, which produces powders with unique properties and applications.
Bentonite and zeolite are minerals that have excellent adsorption and absorption properties, making them useful in a wide range of applications. The combination of these two minerals in spray drying leads to the formation of a powder with enhanced adsorption properties.
Spray drying of bentonite and zeolite is used in various applications, including as an adsorbent in the purification of wastewater and industrial effluent. Additionally, the powder can be used as a soil amendment to improve soil fertility, water retention, and nutrient availability.
Other areas of application for spray-dried bentonite and zeolite powders include the production of pet litter and animal feed additives. Moreover, it can be used in the production of cosmetics and personal care products such as face masks, scrubs, and body washes, as well as in the production of detergents and cleaning products.
Overall, spray drying of bentonite and zeolite is a versatile and valuable method for producing powders with numerous applications in various industries.
