CONTINUOUS PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ANIONIC CLAY

摘要

This patent describes an economical and environment-friendly continuous process for the synthesis of anionic clays with carbonate and/or hydroxide anions as the charge-balancing interlayer species. It involves reacting a slurry comprising aluminium trihydrate and/or its calcined form, with a magnesium source. There is no necessity to wash or filter the product. It can be spray dried directly to form microspheres or can be extruded to form shaped bodies. The product can be combined with other ingredients in the manufacture of catalysts, absorbents, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, detergents, and other commodity products.
