Evaluation of Egyptian bentonite and nano-bentonite as drilling mud [PDF]
AbstractNano-particles of bentonite have been prepared by nano-grinding. The nano-bentonite was characterized by X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The bentonite particles had been ground to the size ranging from 4 to 9nm.

Calcium bentonite and sodium bentonite as stabilizers for roads unbound [PDF]
Several technologies are currently available to stabilize the unbound layers of road pavements. The use of these solutions, often manufactured by means of chemical processes, is steadily increasing worldwide. As an alternative natural resource, the use of bentonite represents a valid option when it comes to road stabilization and its application in ...

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Manufacturing and characterization of sustainable macroporous glass foams [PDF]
This work produced glass foams from soda-lime glass bottles, bentonite, and alumina by the replica method. Compositions with different contents of bentonite (5, 10, 15, and 20 wt%) were prepared and heat-treated at 800 °C.
