: Indian bentonite and the mineralogical iron naturally occurring within this bentonite influence emission reduction (BTEX) of green sand molding during pouring, cooling, and shakeout. A study of European and Indian bentonite blends was published in the International Journal of Metal Castings (IJMC), Volume 13, Issue 3 (July 2019), titled “Evaluation of Green Sand Premixes for Emission Characteristics (Enhanced).”
