description Product Description
Montmorillonite K-10 is widely used as a catalyst in organic synthesis due to its acidic properties and high surface area. It is particularly effective in facilitating reactions such as Friedel-Crafts alkylation, acylation, and esterification. Its ability to act as a solid acid catalyst makes it a preferred choice in green chemistry, reducing the need for hazardous liquid acids. Additionally, it is employed in the purification of proteins and enzymes, where it aids in the removal of impurities through adsorption. In the pharmaceutical industry, it serves as an excipient in drug formulations, improving stability and bioavailability. Its adsorption properties also make it useful in environmental applications, such as the removal of heavy metals and organic pollutants from wastewater.
