Bentonite consists chiefly of crystalline clay minerals belonging to the smectite group, which are hydrous aluminum silicates containing iron and magnesium …
The effects of bentonite on the pore structure and permeability of cement mortar were investigated in this paper. Bentonite, as a swelling potential clay, was added to mortar at content 0, 4 and 8% by weight of cement. The compressive strength, flexural strength, and impermeability pressure were determined for cement mortar with …
The acid activated bentonite clay ranging from 1.0 to 4.0 wt % were incorporated into the Polyetherimide membranes and extensively studied for its morphology, porosity, membrane hydraulic ...
Bentonite deposits known in the Western Rif region are closely linked to volcanic structures of Melilla-Kert basins (Fig. 1) and are contained in marine …
La bentonite a de nombreuses applications dans les études environnementales et géologiques en raison de ses propriétés uniques, notamment sa capacité élevée d'échange de cations, sa capacité élevée d'absorption d'eau et sa capacité à gonfler et à former des gels lorsqu'elle est hydratée.
Among all the methods, SEM, ESEM and MIP are most frequently used to investigate the pore structures of compacted bentonite [29, 39, 40]. Because bentonite is a clay sensitive to water, the pore structure would change with changing water content. The advantage of ESEM to SEM is that in ESEM the relative humidity can be controlled …
A new process for manufacturing organically compounded bentonite was developed successfully based on the organic intercalation and layered structure of bentonite. The main steps in the proposed process included wet sodium activation of bentonite ore, organic compounding and high-pressure roll grinding. The optimum …
The basic structure of montmorillonite particle consists of a central octahedral sheet sandwiched between two tetrahedral sheets [7]. Due to shear thinning behavior and gel-like structure of montmorillonite suspension at low content, bentonite or montmorillonite particles are effective in suspending and carrying drilling cuttings to the …
The band at 3386 cm −1 disappeared, due to the partial dissolution of the main bentonite structure. The frequency shifts and intensity decreases in the band at 1634 cm −1 which was associated with adsorbed water (H–O–H stretching vibrations) compared to the NB at 1637 cm −1, owing to the loss of adsorbed water with the temperature ...
The basic structural unit of smectite clay is a layer consisting of two inward-pointing tetrahedral sheets with a central alumina octahedral sheet ( Fig. 1) (Komadel 2003). The layers are ...
Test results showed that the addition of 8% bentonite could cause a significant increase of 61.48%, 42.09% and 76.47% for compressive strength, flexural strength, and impermeability pressure, respectively. The enhancement of impermeability is mainly due to the pore structure refinement by the bentonite, which is validated by test …
In this study, the bentonite samples were characterized by the main changeable proportion of bentonite in the natural and intercalated forms in the substitution mode whiles the amount of cementations material. Yang et al. [12] performed an experimental study to investigate the effects of bentonite on pore structure and …
Compacted MX-80 bentonite is a potential backfill material in radioactive-waste repositories. Pore space in MX-80 has been the subject of considerable debate. 3D reconstructions of the pore space based on tomographic methods could provide new insights into the nature of the pore space of compacted bentonites.
The structure characteristics of various chitosan-based flocculants were assessed by 1 H NMR, XRD, FT-IR and SEM. Bentonite suspension and humic acid (HA) aqueous solution are representative of inorganic suspended particles (ISP) and natural organic matter (NOM) common in raw water, respectively. Therefore, the flocculation …
Structurally, bentonite clay is made up of two basic building blocks, i.e. the aluminium octahedral sheets and silica tetrahedral sheets (Fig. 1). A single unit cell consists of one aluminium...
Much better thermal insulation properties of the ed concrete with bentonite slurry could be obtained. Thermal conductivity of the ed concrete with 50% of bentonite slurry decreased by 29.8% and 15.3% for dry bulk density of 300 kg/m 3 and 600 kg/m 3, respectively. It is found that the increased pores with nano-scaled sizes in …
A straight line L0 was drawn on the surface of the bentonite of specimen S22%-2, and a straight line L1 was drawn on the surface of the polymer of the same sample in order to investigate the strain of bentonite and polymer composite structure when the specimen was subjected to maximum shear stress, as shown in Fig. 13 (a). Other …
La bentonite est composée principalement de montmorillonite, un type de minéral argileux qui a une structure en couches et une capacité d'échange cationique …
Each platelet consists of three sandwich-arranged layers: a central octahedral alumina (Al2O3) layer, and two tetrahedral silica (SiO 2) layers. The silicon ion and the aluminium ion often undergo isomorphous …
Bentonite is a type of clay that is composed primarily of the mineral montmorillonite. It has several physical and chemical properties that make it useful in various industries. Here are some of the key properties of bentonite: Physical properties: 1. Color: Bentonite is usually light gray … See more
