Used as a bleaching agent in the refining of vegetable oils and mineral oils to remove impurities, color bodies, and moisture. Commonly applied in the production of edible oils such as soybean, palm, sunflower, and rice bran oil to improve clarity and stability by eliminating unwanted compounds.

In the paints and lacquers industry, it acts as an absorbent to prevent sedimentation and enhance color stability. Also used in cosmetics and skincare products, such as facial masks or oil-absorbing formulations, due to its ability to adsorb oils and impurities from the skin.

Additionally, employed in water and oil filtration systems to remove suspended solids, heavy metals, and undesirable organic substances. In laboratories, it facilitates separation and purification processes. Further applications include wastewater treatment to adsorb organic pollutants, decolorization of recycled oils, purification of petroleum products, removal of contaminants from industrial liquids, serving as a carrier for pesticides, and as a component in cat litter due to its high absorbency.
