ʻO ka pālolo i hoʻāla ʻia he mea hoʻopili i hana ʻia mai ka pālolo (ʻo ka bentonite nui) ma ke ʻano he mea maka, i mālama ʻia me ka acidification inorganic, paʻakai a i ʻole nā ​​​​ʻano hana ʻē aʻe, a laila holoi ʻia a hoʻomaloʻo ʻia me ka wai. He ʻano pauka keʻokeʻo waiū kona, ʻaʻohe ʻala, ʻaʻohe ʻawaʻawa, ʻaʻohe mea ʻawaʻawa, a he hana adsorption ikaika. Hiki iā ia ke adsorb i nā mea kala a me nā mea ola. He maʻalahi ke omo i ka makū i ka lewa, a ʻo ke kau ʻana no ka lōʻihi loa e hōʻemi i ka hana adsorption. I ka wā e hoʻohana ai, he mea kūpono ke hoʻomehana (ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma 80-100 degere Celsius) e hoʻōla hou. Eia naʻe, ʻo ka hoʻomehana ʻana ma luna o 300 degere Celsius e hoʻomaka e nalowale ka wai crystalline, e hoʻoulu ai i nā loli kūkulu a hoʻopilikia i ka hopena mae. ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ka pālolo i hoʻāla ʻia i ka wai, nā mea hoʻoheheʻe organik, a me nā ʻaila like ʻole, kokoke i ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i ka soda caustic wela a me ka waikawa hydrochloric, me ka density pili o 2.3-2.5, a me ka pehu liʻiliʻi i ka wai a me ka ʻaila.

ʻO ka lepo keʻokeʻo kūlohelohe me nā waiwai hoʻokeʻokeʻo kūlohelohe he lepo keʻokeʻo, hina keʻokeʻo i haku ʻia me ka montmorillonite, albite, a me ka quartz, a he ʻano bentonite ia.

ʻO ka hopena nui o ka palaho ʻana o nā pōhaku pele aniani, ʻaʻole e hoʻonui ma hope o ka omo ʻana i ka wai, a ʻokoʻa ka waiwai pH o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana mai ka bentonite alkaline; ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o kāna hana bleaching ma mua o ka lepo i hoʻāla ʻia. ʻO nā kala maʻamau e komo pū me ka melemele māmā, keʻokeʻo ʻōmaʻomaʻo, hina, kala ʻoliva, brown, keʻokeʻo waiū, ʻulaʻula peach, uliuli, a pēlā aku. He kakaikahi loa nā mea keʻokeʻo maʻemaʻe. Density 2.7-2.9g/cm2. Haʻahaʻa pinepine ka density ʻike ʻia ma muli o kona porosity. Ua like ke ʻano kemika me ka lepo maʻamau, me nā mea kemika nui he alumini oxide, silicon dioxide, wai, a me kahi liʻiliʻi o ka hao, magnesium, calcium, a pēlā aku. ʻAʻohe plasticity, me ka hiki ke adsorption kiʻekiʻe. Ma muli o kona nui o ka hydrous silicic acid, he acidic ia i ka litmus. He maʻalahi ka wai i ka haki a he nui ka wai. Ma keʻano laulā, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka fineness, ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o ka mana decolorization.

I ka wā e hana ai i ka loiloi maikaʻi i ka wā o ka ʻimi ʻana, pono ia e ana i kāna hana bleaching, acidity, filtration performance, omo ʻana o ka aila, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.
