Abstract
Samples of Iraqi bentonitic sediments, representing local montmorillonite brought from Traifawi region near the Syrian border. Mineralogical the samples were characterized as low grade of Ca-smectite, particle size, chemical analysis, XRD, and BET surface area analyses of the samples were carried out to examine the structure of bentonite before and after acid activation. The goal is to prepare a bleaching earth for edible oil production. Iraqi Bentonite was beneficiated and activated by series of physical and chemical steps, using 4N & 6N concentration of hydrochloric acid and at a temperature of 70-80 ° C. Surface area and pore volume of the samples were determined to assess the bleaching power of the activated bentonite. The chemical composition of the bentonite improve after remove Calcite phase was disappeared, reduced Iron oxide percentage with Increasing the concentration of hydrochloric acid and the treatment time lead to the growth of Smectite phase and change the structural of bentonite which noticed by improve of surface area from 58.93 to 206.62 m2 g−1.
