Thermally Activated Bentonite As a Supplementary Cementitious Material – A Review [PDF]

Engineering and Technology Journal, 2021
Bentonite is a mixture of clay and non-clay minerals. Montmorillonite clay mineral is a dominant mineral in bentonite. Silica and alumina bond in the crystal structure of montmorillonite. Therefore, they cannot contribute to the pozzolanic reaction. Heat

Effect of dehydroxylation/amorphization degree of bentonite on the microstructure, thermal stability, and mechanical strength of basalt epoxy composites

Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2023
Calcination of smectite clays such as bentonite is tricky due to their 2:1 aluminosilicate structure. Low calcination temperature has minimal effect on the dehydroxylation, specific surface area (SSA), and crystalline nature of bentonite clays whereas ...

Bentonite Clay Modified Concrete

, 2022
Replacing cement with pozzolanic materials to some extent in construction is found to be one of the sustainable approaches in the construction industry. Pozzolanic materials of industrial origin like fly ash and Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag will have to be replaced with natural pozzolanic materials once the world moves towards renewable energy ...
