Latest News and Developments:
Bleaching earth, also known as bleaching clay, is a type of absorbent clay used in refining edible oils and fats. It is primarily composed of montmorillonite, a smectite clay mineral, known for its high surface area and strong adsorption properties. Its main function is to remove impurities, color pigments, and other undesirable substances from oils and fats, improving their quality, stability, and appearance. The production of bleaching earth involves mining natural clay deposits and processing them to enhance their adsorption capabilities. This process includes acid treatment, increasing the surface area and porosity of the clay. The resulting fine, powdery substance is highly effective at adsorbing impurities.
Bleaching earth is a crucial component in oil refining, removing impurities like chlorophyll, carotenoids, phospholipids, trace metals, and oxidation products. It is used in the refining of various oils, including soybean, palm, sunflower, and cottonseed oils, as well as purifying other products like biodiesel, waxes, and mineral oils. The effectiveness of bleaching earth depends on its source, composition, and processing techniques, making different types available tailored to specific refining processes.
