Attapulgite clay is a kind of water rich magnesium aluminum silicate mineral with special fibrous crystal structure, which is mainly composed of attapulgite. It is an important rare non-metallic mineral resource. Because of its good adsorption, decolorization, thermal stability, salt resistance, pulping and other properties, it is widely used in drilling mud, petrochemical, military industry, building materials, paper making, medicine, agriculture, environmental protection and many other fields. HCMilling(Guilin Hongcheng) is a manufacturer of attapulgite grinding mill. Here are some suggestions for the development and utilization of attapulgite mineral resources in Anhui Province, China:

HLM attapulgite grinding mill

The rock mass of the mining area in Anhui Province, China, occurs in the Cenozoic Tertiary basalt interlayer. It contains 3 to 4 layers of ore, which are distributed horizontally in layers. The thickness of the ore body is 1.05 meters to 15.9 meters. The thickness of the layer is stable, with good continuity. The burial depth is generally 10 to 94 meters. Some areas are exposed on the surface. The content of attapulgite in the mineral composition is 43.2%, up to 96%, high grade and good quality. Secondly, quartz, dolomite and montmorillonite have high crystallinity and large grain size; The manufacturer of attapulgite grinding mill learned that the deposits (spots) in Longshan area of Feidong County are composed of basalt, andesitic fused tuff and volcanic agglomerate interlayers, attapulgite exists in the fracture zone, and the attapulgite content in the mineral composition is more than 90%. The second is quartz and albite. The mineral particle size is mostly nanometer submicron. Attapulgite fibers are arranged in bundles and directions, with smooth, straight surface and grid distribution.

In recent years, China has actively promoted the development and utilization of attapulgite clay resources and issued a series of relevant plans. The manufacturer of attapulgite grinding mill has learned that in the Mineral Resources Planning of Anhui Province (2016-2020), it is proposed to strengthen the deep processing of attapulgite clay and other minerals, and promote the development and utilization of ultra-fine powder materials, modified materials, special purpose materials and other series of mineral products. In the mineral resources planning of Mingguang City, Jianxi attapulgite clay key mining area and Guanshan Jianxi attapulgite clay key development zone have been designated, covering an area of 196.21 square kilometers. Relying on the attapulgite clay industrial park, the surrounding scattered attapulgite clay workshop enterprises have been integrated, the primary processing enterprises for capacity expansion and transformation have been centralized, and the development of high-performance adsorption, colloidal materials, polymer organic composite materials and other low-carbon, environmental protection High value-added products.

Attapulgite clay is currently mainly used for adsorption materials, colloidal functional materials, nano functional materials, etc. Liquid purification and oil decolorization are the largest markets for attapulgite clay ore to be used as adsorbent. Use amount 0.8%~6.0%; After being grinded by attapulgite grinding mill, the amount used in the coating is 0.3%~3.0%. In addition, it can also be used in many market fields such as desiccant, air purification particles, feed additives, polymer material modification, etc.

China actively promotes the development of the whole industrial chain of attapulgite clay, pointing out that attapulgite clay products are mainly used in new chemical industry (green paint) and new material industry. Among them, the new chemical industry is aimed at the close relationship between the unique properties of colloidal attapulgite clay and green coatings, building a “City of Waterborne Coatings in China” in Mingguang City, becoming the first batch of “Green Coatings Park” in China, and all major companies have settled in. The annual production capacity of green coatings will reach nearly millions of tons. The use of attapulgite clay ore in coatings will be 0.3%~3.0%. It is estimated that the demand for attapulgite mineral powder will reach hundreds of thousands of tons; The new material industry is to research, develop and produce attapulgite based new materials such as attapulgite filler, adsorbent, new building materials, new filling particle powder, desiccant, decolorant attapulgite, etc.

The development and utilization of attapulgite mineral resources can not do without the support of attapulgite grinding mill equipment. The attapulgite grinding mill produced by HCMilling(Guilin Hongcheng) has been widely used and recognized in the global market. It can process 80-2500 mesh attapulgite powder, with complete product models and rich categories. If you need to develop and utilize attapulgite, please contact us for details.
