§ 184.1155 Bentonite.
（a） Bentonite （Al2O34SiO2nH2O, CAS Reg. No. 1302–0978–099） is principally a colloidal hydrated aluminum silicate. Bentonite contains varying quantities of iron, alkalies, and alkaline earths in the commercial products. Depending on the cations present, natural deposits of bentonite range in color from white to gray, yellow, green, or blue. Bentonite's fine particles provide large total surface area and, hence, pronounced adsorptive capability.
