This invention belongs to the field of
sodium-based
bentonite technology, specifically relating to a method for producing
sodium-based
bentonite from
calcium-based
bentonite, comprising the following steps: S1. Preliminary mixing: crushing
calcium-based bentonite to 90-110 mesh, and then mixing it with a composite
sodium-forming agent at a
mass ratio of 1:(0.03~0.10); S2. Mechanical shearing:
processing the mixture obtained in step S1 in a high-speed shearing
machine at a speed of 2000~4000 r / min for 10~40 min; S3.
Sodium formation: adding 1~1.5 times its
mass of deionized water to the bentonite after mechanical shearing in step S2, and stirring and reacting at a temperature of 60~80℃ for 1~2 h; S4.
Drying: centrifuging and dehydrating the sodium-formed bentonite in step S3,
drying it at 120~150℃, and pulverizing it to 200~300 mesh to obtain the product. The present invention provides a method for producing sodium-based bentonite from
calcium-based bentonite. The preparation method is simple, with high sodiumization efficiency and short reaction time. For the first time,
rare earth catalysis, nano-intercalation and bio-based additives are combined, breaking through the traditional sodiumization theoretical framework. The prepared product has good performance, high expansion capacity, and meets the standards of high-end
foundry bentonite, making it suitable for high-end application scenarios.
