| Bioactivity | Montmorillonite is composed of two layers of co-top connected silicon oxygen tetrahedral sheet and one layer of co-edge connected aluminum (magnesium) oxygen (hydroxide) octahedral sheet, which consists of a 2:1 structure containing water of crystal. Montmorillonite can be used for large-scale industrial decontamination and can effectively remove harmful ions in sewage. Montmorillonite can also be used as a carrier of ionic antibacterial agents because of its exchangeable hydrated cations, which can adsorb bacteria[1]. | ||||||||||||
