Calcium bentonite may be converted to sodium bentonite (termed sodium beneficiation or sodium activation) to exhibit many of sodium bentonites' properties by an ion exchange process. It is also known as potash bentonite or K-bentonite; potassium bentonite is potassium-rich illitic clay formed from alteration of volcanic ash.
The calcium bentonite clay in the raw gypsum ore has a particle size of ~1-5 µm, whereas the gypsum and quartz have a particle size of ~1-2 mm. Therefore, the calcium bentonite clay can be separated through sieving. Sieving is cost-effective; however it is not the most effective beneficiation process as some impurities remain after sieving.
