3. Clay is a naturally occurring material composed
primarily of fine grained minerals, which shows
plasticity through a variable range of water content
and which can be hardened when dried or fired.
Clay deposits are mostly composed of clay minerals
(phyllosilicate minerals) and variable amount of water
trapped in the mineral.
Clay materials have been investigated because of
their importance in agriculture, in ceramics, in
construction and other uses.

4. Adsorption mechanism of clay
colloids:
Clay minerals have weekly
bound hydrated interlayers
Interlayer cations can be
displaced by other cations from
aqueous solution to give an ion-
exchange reaction
Mineral Suspension Technology:
Eliminates non-essential
elements
Optimizes Absorption and
Adsorption processes
Enhances the Ionic exchange
process
Creating a multitude of
Natural Product Applications
