The invention discloses an attapulgite argil
powder with an air purifying function. The technical scheme is as follows: the attapulgite argil
powder with an air purifying function is prepared from high-
viscosity attapulgite clay, an attapulgite constant-
humidity conditioner, a
natural mineral adsorbing / filtering agent, Cacumen Biotae,
aluminum silicate fiber and
polyacrylamide. The attapulgite argil
powder is prepared by the following steps: pulverizing the materials, soaking and aging to obtain a wet mixture, extruding the wet mixture into a strip, airing the strip, pulverizing to obtain powder, and packaging to obtain the finished product. The attapulgite argil powder has favorable cohesive property,
plasticity,
thixotropy,
fire resistance and
thermal stability; the pottery prepared from the attapulgite argil powder with an air purifying function contains a great deal of micropores and
activated carbon, thus, has the characteristics of
low shrinkage, no
cracking or deformation and favorable adsorbability, and can effectively adsorb
formaldehyde,
ammonia,
benzene and other harmful substances in the air, thereby protecting the environment and improving good health of people. The invention is suitable for producing pottery artware with an air purifying function.
