Product Manufacturing Process
The manufacturing of synthetic layered silicate involves several key processes such as raw material selection, mixing, and calcination. The raw materials typically include precursors of silica and alumina which are mixed under controlled conditions to form a homogeneous slurry. The slurry is then subjected to high temperature in a kiln to achieve desired crystalline structure and chemical composition. Various studies suggest that precise control of parameters such as temperature, time, and atmosphere during calcination is essential for achieving optimal product quality. The homogeneous distribution of components and the maintenance of optimal thermal conditions are critical in influencing the final product's rheological properties.
Product Application Scenarios
