Advantages and disadvantages of bentonite clay
The positive side of bentonite is not only the possibility of wide application, but also its ability to independently restore the smallest damage.

You can also highlight other advantages of bentonite clay:

Withstanding many cycles of freezing and thawing;
The ability not to change its properties during operation;
Strength;
Waterproofing properties;
Ensuring excellent adhesion of soils;
Relatively simple process for making mortar and assembling products from bentonite;
Durability.
The disadvantages of the material, compared with other types, are few. So, the "fat" type of bentonite clay has the ability to crack when dried. This can be prevented with special treatments, but still this feature can be considered a disadvantage.
 
Price. Based on its own properties, the material has an acceptable cost;
Practicality. The list of all those applications in which you can use bentonite clay is really amazing. Few materials can simultaneously be used both in cosmetology and in metallurgy;
Appearance. It does not include any impurities that can make it look too bad;
Ease of manufacture. Mining in a quarry, of course, does not present any difficulties, however, due to the wide range of applications, bentonite will need several types of processing, which will somewhat complicate the extraction process;
Labor intensive when using. Does not require any additional measures, can be used immediately after purchase;
Environmental friendliness. Not just eco-friendly, but also a very useful material, which is even considered a good dietary supplement for domestic animals. The composition of the clay is unique due to the large amount of minerals and is not capable of doing any harm.

Bentonite clay powder is a product of drying and fine grinding of natural material - clay, which has retained all its colloidal-chemical properties. It is widely used in the national economy:

in the mining industry - for the preparation of drilling fluids;

in foundry - as binding additives in the production of molding sands;

in ferrous metallurgy - for pelletizing iron ore concentrate;

in ceramic production - to impart high strength to products;

in construction - for the production of high-quality expanded clay;

in the food industry - for the purification of liquids;

in medicine and pharmacology - for the manufacture of medicines;

in agriculture - to improve the structure of the soil.

Bentonite is one of the most versatile and inexpensive natural products in which the mineral content of montmorillonite is 50% or more. From the point of view of practical use, alkaline ones are the best, since they can be used without additional processing.

Bentonite production - Private Joint Stock Company "Weighting Plant".
Natural clay mineral with a number of valuable unique physical and chemical properties, as well as non-toxicity, chemical resistance and rich composition, plays a comprehensive role in many areas of human activity: industry, medicine, agriculture, construction and environmental protection.

Bentonite is a colloidal clay of volcanic origin, which has adsorptive, binding properties, dispersion, water absorption. It contains elements such as calcium, sulfur, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, manganese and others.

The best raw material for benetonite is mined in the Grigorievsky mine.

Due to all these properties, bentonite clays have become widely used in advanced economies in recent years. The main raw material base in Ukraine is a high-quality bentonite deposit, which is located in the Donetsk region of the Artyomovsky district

- this is the Grigorievsky Mine. It has been in operation since 2002. Annual production is 150 thousand tons. Remaining license reserves - 4.9 million tons. Clays of the alkaline earth type, after modification, were used for the production of pellets, drilling fluids (clay powder TU U 320.00136751.032-99) and as molding raw materials.
