Here is a step-by-step process of how bentonite is added to the drilling mud: 1. Pre-hydration. Bentonite is often pre-hydrated before its incorporation into the drilling fluid to form a slurry. This process entails mixing the so-called clay with water and leaving it to sit for some time, usually several hours.
Hydration-dehydration behaviour of bentonite, consisting mostly of montmorillonite, has been widely studied in view of heat storage uses [310,313,[316][317] [318] [319][320]. Konta compared ...
The sample ratios of the bentonite-based materials were 70% for the sodium-type bentonite and altered bentonite and 30% for the silica sand (Mikawa No. 6 silica sand; particle density is 2.663Mg/m3). Moreover, the replacement ratio ¡ of the mixed bentonite immersed in the solutions was defined by the ratio of sodium-type bentonite to altered ...
The bentonite used in this study was sodium bentonite and calcium bentonite shown in Figure 1. Sodium bentonite and calcium bentonite have a cation of montmorillonite
As the last man-made barrier serving the purpose of seepage control (i.e., prevent the water infiltration and radionuclide migration) and heat conduction, bentonite is generally selected as the buffer/backfill material due to its high swelling ability, low permeability, high radionuclide retardation capacity, high mechanical stability and high ...
Re-hydration of BBSM could cause bentonite to swell and fill voids and gaps in the DGR system. After filling the gaps, a swelling pressure will develop in both the radial and axial directions under …
Since nuclear energy is crucial in the decarbonization of the energy supply, one hurdle to remove is the handling of high-level radioactive waste (HLW). Disposal of HLW in a deep geological repository has long been deemed a viable permanent option. In the design of a deep geological repository, compacted bentonite is the most commonly …
Hydration/dehydration of montmorillonite, the main component of bentonite, governs those properties of bentonite. The hydration/dehydration of …
One of the most important technical properties of bentonite (montmorillonite-rich) clay is its ability to swell and self-seal when hydrated by the inflow of natural waters (Bradly et al., 1937, Norrish, 1954).
The soil studied was Gaomiaozi (GMZ) Na-bentonite, found native to the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in China.
