The present work aims to investigate the effect of sulphanilamide (SA) adsorption on the zeta potential and water loss of raw local bentonite (B) and Na-bentonite (Na-B) suspensions. This was accomplished by separating the fine particles of raw bentonite of size (< 1μm), then activating them by Na+ ions. Adsorption isotherms of SA on B and Na-B were obtained at different SA concentrations rangi...

Bentonite is a natural and finite mineral resource. Dilute suspensions of sodium montmorillonite clay in water represents bentonite slurries. Suspension orientation colloidal particles define rheological properties slurry (BS). The BS has been used about seventy years to temporarily support the excavations. More recently, polymer fluids (PSF) gained much popularity are widely compared fluids. P...

The adsorption of contaminants plays an important role in the process of their elimination from a polluted environment. This work describes the issue of loading environment with lead Pb(II) and the resulting negative impact it has on plants and living organisms. It also focuses on bentonite as a natural adsorbent and on the adsorption process of Pb(II) ions on the mixture of bentonite and botto...

Clark, D. G. (1970). Brit. J. industr. Med., 27, 186-188. Inhibition of the absorption of paraquat from the gastrointestinal tract by adsorbents. The efficacy of the oral administration of adsorbents Kaolin, Decalso, Amberlite, Bentonite and Fuller's Earth in preventing the toxic actions ofingested paraquat (1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-dipyridylium) has been assessed using rats and cats. Only Bentonite ...
