| APPLICATIONS |
The Highly sorptive qualities of ICMC
attapulgite make it ideal for a wide range of applications.The following are but the few
of the many ways ICMC attapulgite has been effectively applied.
Polymerising pinen tupentine and other terpene liquids. It is used for removing gum
forming constitutes from gasoline blending stock.
|
|
| Oil Decolourising and Refining |
ICMC attapulgite is used for the
decolourising, stabilizing, neutralising, clarifying and decolourising sizes of solvents,
mineral oils, fats and waxes. For these purposes both percolationand contact methods are
employed.
|
|
| Cleaning Oily Workshop Floor |
ICMC Attapulgite Granulars are available in
various grades for cleaning oily workshop Floor.
|
|
| Pesticides Carriers and Diluents |
ICMC Attapulgite in a granulars or powder from
is used with many Pesticides formulations.
|
|
| Reclaiming |
ICMC attapulgite is an excellent adsorbent for
the reclamation or regeneration of used transformer oils, fats and waxes, dry cleaning
solvents.
|
|
Reclamation may involve a complete
reprocessing of the used materials reforming it to its original state or simply a clean up
involving the removal of water, acids, or solid contaminates. These operation may be of
batch types or
continuos type. A simple filtration through ICMC attapulgite can economically remove
certain contaminants in some cases.
|
|
| Re-refining of Engine, Lubricating Oils |
AMGEEN is a specially processed grade of
Attapuligite clay (hydrous magnesium aluminium silicate). Its unique physical properties
make it most effective as a bleaching neutralising and decolourising agent in the
re-refining of engine and lubricating oils by contact methods.
|
|
| Filtration of Special Product |
ICMC attapulgite is used for decoloursing
neutralising and stabilizing such materials as resins tall oils, cocoa
butter animal oils, fish oils etc.
|
|
| Process |
| Percolation Methods |
The material to be processed is filtered
through column of granular attapulgite clay which has been heat activated usually between
300oc to
600oc the rate of percolation , temperature of operation and optimum
temperature of activation of attapulgite are variable which should be determined
experimentally for a specific application.
|
|
| Contact Methods |
The material to be treated is mixed with
Amgeen attapulgite and slurry stirred for period of five to thirty minutes at elevated
temperature under vacuum. The treated product is recovered by filtering through a plate
and frame or continuos type of filter for optimum result , the amount of attapulgite clay
used the temprature and the time of treatment should be determined by experiment.
