Attapulgite

Description:

Attapulgite, also known as palygorskite, is a naturally occurring clay mineral characterized by its unique fibrous structure and high surface area. It is primarily composed of magnesium and aluminum silicate, which contributes to its adsorptive properties. Attapulgite is notable for its ability to retain water and its high cation-exchange capacity, making it useful in various applications, including as a thickening agent, absorbent, and in the formulation of drilling fluids. Its structure allows for the incorporation of various ions, enhancing its versatility in industrial processes. Additionally, attapulgite exhibits low thermal conductivity and is stable under a wide range of pH conditions, which further broadens its applicability in fields such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and environmental remediation. The mineral is typically found in sedimentary deposits and is mined in several regions worldwide. Its unique properties make it an important material in both commercial and industrial applications, particularly in formulations requiring enhanced viscosity and stability.

Attapulgite

CAS: 12174-11-7

Attapulgite is an aluminum-silicate clay mineral that has a high cation exchange capacity and is chemically stable. It can be used to remove toxic substances from wastewater by absorbing them and then releasing them in the form of water vapor. Attapulgite has been shown to react with malonic acid, forming hydrogen bonding interactions that result in the formation of a chitosan polymer. This reaction may be due to the presence of hydroxyl groups on attapulgite’s surface.
