Stage wise inprocess sampling and testing is carried out to assure that the process is always within the prescribed parameters. Sample of end product are frequently and continuously drawn and tested rigidly for all properties viz bleachibility, acidic properties, water content, particle size distribution and filtration properties, oil retention, peroxide value etc. Bleachibility This is the most important property in the manufacture of goodearth activated clays and the object is to obtain as high and as constant a bleaching activity of each type. For determination of bleaching activity, a standard oil is bleached with a standard bleaching earth and our goodearth sample to be checked against it. The colour of both bleached oils are compared colorimetrically with each other. The colour determinations are done in a lovibond tintometer and only known samples which surpass the high bleachibility limits fixed by us are earmarked for marketing. Advantages of using highly active goodearth bleaching earths. In production of goodearth bleaching earth. All efforts have been focused on attaining the highest bleaching power for various oils with minimum use of bleaching earth and minimum oil loss. The diagram below clearly shows the superior effect of goodearth compared with non activated natural earth. As can be seen, the required degree of decolonization can nor be achieved with natural earths. Not even with extremely high dosages. On the other hand, the goodearth decolorizing function shows that even comparatively low dosages of our bleaching clays are sufficient to attain maximum decolonization. |
