Firstly, calcium based bentonite is difficult to extract, making it difficult to find and more expensive;

Secondly, the viscosity of nano bentonite is relatively higher than that of calcium bentonite;

Thirdly, calcium based bentonite contains cationic Ga+, while sodium based bentonite contains cationic Na+.

Firstly, the price of calcium based bentonite is relatively higher, mainly because calcium based bentonite is relatively rare and the extraction cost is also much higher.

Secondly, bentonite itself has viscosity, and usually the viscosity of nano bentonite is relatively higher than that of calcium bentonite, so they are more suitable for mixing mud.

Finally, according to the basic principles of chemistry, calcium based bentonite contains cation Ga+, while sodium based bentonite contains cation Na+. Basically, the purity of cations in sodium based bentonite and calcium based bentonite sold on the market is not very high, and some other substances will be mixed in.

What are the physical properties of calcium based bentonite?

The color of calcium based bentonite is mainly gray white, which is insoluble in water and commonly in powder form. It has oiliness and organic compatibility. Calcium based bentonite has a large effective pore volume, so it has strong adsorption capacity and its non-toxic properties will save a lot of time in extraction engineering. Calcium based bentonite has good thermal stability, strong filtration ability, and low oil content. To purchase high-quality sodium based bentonite and calcium based bentonite, it is essential to choose a professional and reliable company, and the quality will also be guaranteed accordingly.
