Listing description
Bentonite is an absorbent aluminium phyllosilicate, impure clay
consisting mostly of montmorillonite.
The absorbent clay was given the name bentonite by Wilbur C. Knight in 1898,
after the Cretaceous Benton Shale near Rock River, Wyoming in America.
Detailed description
There
are different types of bentonite, each named after the respective dominant element,
such as potassium (K), sodium
(Na), calcium
(Ca), and aluminium (Al). Experts debate a number of
nomenclatorial problems with the classification of bentonite clays. Bentonite
usually forms from weathering of volcanic
ash, most often in the presence of water. However, the term
bentonite, as well as a similar clay called tonstein,
has been used to describe clay beds of uncertain origin.
