Contact SupplierBentonite is a type of clay mineral that has a unique ability to absorb water and other liquids. Because of this property, bentonite has been used in various industrial applications, including wastewater treatment.
In effluent treatment plants, bentonite is commonly used as a flocculating agent. It helps to remove suspended solids and other contaminants from wastewater by forming flocs that can be easily removed through sedimentation or filtration.
Bentonite can be used in both primary and secondary treatment processes. In primary treatment, it is added to the influent to help settle out larger particles and reduce the organic load of the wastewater. In secondary treatment, it can be used to remove residual suspended solids and other impurities.
One advantage of using bentonite in effluent treatment is that it is a natural material and is non-toxic. It is also relatively inexpensive and widely available. However, it is important to use the right type and amount of bentonite for the specific wastewater being treated, as using too much can result in clogging of the treatment system.
