Good adsorption Sepiolite, Sepiolite Powder
Sepiolite is a kind of fibrous water-containing magnesium silicate, usually white, light gray, light yellow color, opaque and luster. Some of them are shaped like clods of earth, and some form a strange crust or tubercle. Under an electron microscope, they are made of myriads of filaments clustered together in sheets. Sepiolite has a strange property. When they encounter water, they absorb a lot of water and become soft, but when they dry, they become hard again.

Description
Property
| Sepiolite is a kind of water-rich magnesium silicate clay mineral with layered chain structure. Rhombic or monoclinic crystalline systems, generally massive, soil – like or fibrous aggregates. Color is white, light gray, dark gray, tan, rose red, light blue green. Fresh surface for pearl luster, weathered for earth – like luster. Hardness 2~3, density 2~2.5g/cm3. With smooth and astringent feeling, sticky tongue. Brittle in dry condition. Low shrinkage, good plasticity, larger than the surface, strong adsorption. Soluble in hydrochloric acid, light weight. Sepiolite also has the properties of decolorization, heat insulation, insulation, corrosion resistance, radiation resistance and heat stability. It is mainly found in Marine sedimentary – weathering transformation type deposits. Also occurs in hydrothermal veins. | |||
| Sepiolite is a magnesium-rich silicate clay mineral. The theoretical chemical formula is Mg8[Si2O30](OH)4·12H2O. Four of the water molecules are crystalline water and the rest are zeolite water. SiO2 content is 54~60%, MgO 21~25%, and often contains a small amount of iron, manganese and other elements. There are two kinds of appearance, one is soil sepiolite, the other is fibrous sepiolite. Hardness 2~2.5, density 2.2g/cm. Dryers can float in water. Color change, generally white, light gray, common and light red, light yellow, brown and so on. | |||
| According to the morphological characteristics of its output, it can be roughly divided into earth-like sepiolite (or called sepiolite clay) and massive sepiolite. The mineral is not widely distributed in nature, often with attapulgite, montmorillonite, talc and other symbiosis. |
Introduction
| Sepiolite is a kind of fibrous magnesium-rich clay mineral (German name Meershaum, English name Spilite). Sepiolite can be divided into α sepiolite and β sepiolite according to its crystal morphology. The former is a large bundle of fibrous crystal output, so it is also called fibrous sepiolite. | |||
| Formed by sedimentation of sepiolite or by alteration of serpentine. | |||
| Sepiolite itself is non-toxic and harmless, but because sepiolite ore is altered by serpentine rock, and serpentine rock is the main component of asbestos, so it is difficult to separate sepiolite and asbestos, general sepiolite will contain a small amount of asbestos, the proportion of about 5%~30%. Sepiolite is mainly used to make pipes. China Jiangxi Leping, Hunan Liuyang and other places have output. Jiangxi Le Ping Ling is the first discovery of sepiolite in our country. Geological investigation of sepiolite clay began with Zhang Renjun. In 1947, he named “refractory white soil” sepiolite based on chemical analysis and decolorization effect, and discussed the origin of the deposit. |
Classification
| The main raw material of sepioam mud is sepioam powder, which is natural, non-toxic, tasteless, asbestos-free, non-radioactive elements of a hydrated magnesium silicate clay mineral, with non-metallic minerals in the largest specific surface area (up to 900m2/g) and unique content pore structure, is recognized as the strongest adsorption capacity of clay minerals. | |||
| Sea foam mud is a kind of natural environmental protection powder wall decoration material, is the upgrade product of diatom mud, widely used in tooling and home decoration wall decoration. |
Chemical composition
| Sepiolite belongs to rhombic system or monorhombic system. Color changeful, generally light white or gray white; Silky luster, sometimes waxy luster; Streaks are white, opaque, smooth and sticky to the touch; Mohs hardness between 2 and 2.5; The body is light, the density is 1~2.2g/cm3; Low shrinkage, good plasticity, soluble in hydrochloric acid. | |||
| The chemical composition of sepiolite is silicon (Si) and magnesium (Mg); Its standard crystal chemical formula is Mg8(H2O)4[Si6O16]2(OH)4·8H2O, in which the content of SiO2 is generally between 54~60%, and the content of MgO is mostly in the range of 21~25%. | |||
| Sepiolite has strong adsorption, decolorization and dispersion properties, but also has high thermal stability, high temperature resistance up to 1500~1700℃, modeling, insulation, salinity resistance are very good. |
