Industrial minerals: Processed limestone, quartz, barite, feldspar, and rare‑earth concentrates used in construction, chemicals, glass, and high‑tech products.
Bleaching Earth: Bleaching earth is a type of activated clay used mainly in oil refining. It effectively removes impurities and color from edible and industrial oils. It's essential in edible oil refining to decolorize oils, reduce chlorophyll and carotenoids, and eliminate soaps, gums, trace metals, and oxidation products. Beyond food oils, it purifies lubricants, petrochemicals, sugar syrups, and biodiesel feedstocks.
Aluminium Hydrate: Aluminium hydrate, also known as aluminium hydroxide or alumina trihydrate (ATH), is a white, powdery compound with the formula Al(OH)₃. It appears as a fine, crystalline white powder, often with a slight pink or gray tint, and is amphoteric—reacting with acids to form salts or with bases to form aluminates. The material is produced mainly via the Bayer process from bauxite ore and has low solubility in water.
Ball Clay: Ball clay is a fine‑grained, highly plastic sedimentary clay used mainly in ceramics and pottery.
Ball clay is a secondary (transported) kaolinitic clay containing typically 20–80% kaolinite, plus mica and quartz, along with small amounts of organic matter such as lignite. It fires to a buff, cream, or off‑white color in an oxidizing atmosphere and is prized for its “sticky” workability at the wet stage.
Barytes: Barytes, also known as barite, is a mineral form of barium sulfate (BaSO₄). Its high density and chemical inertness make it valuable in various industries. Around 80% goes to oil and gas drilling as a weighting agent in muds to control pressure. It's a filler in paints, plastics, rubber, and coatings for density, durability, and cost reduction.
Other applications include medical X-ray contrast, radiation shielding, and occasionally as a gemstone.
Bentonite: Bentonite is a naturally occurring absorbent clay formed from volcanic ash. It swells significantly when exposed to water, making it highly versatile across industries. Drilling muds and pond sealants due to swelling properties.
