The study emphasizes the significance of purifying montmorillonite from raw bentonite, which consists of over 76% montmorillonite essential for various industrial applications.
The extraction method utilized centrifugal force to isolate nanosized montmorillonite, characterized by specific structural and compositional analyses including FE-SEM, XRD, FT-IR, and BET.
The economic analysis suggests that this purification method is an effective and cost-efficient way to produce high-purity montmorillonite for future uses.
