  • Bentonite Pacitan was modified with cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and LAS for bleaching crude palm oil. The organo-bentonites were prepared by normal heating and microwave irradiation. The advantage of using microwave irradiation is time efficiency. The bentonites were characterized by FTIR and XRD analysis. LAS modified bentonite was more effective as bleaching agent than CTA-bentonite.
