Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of bentonite and nonnutritive dietary polymers on toxicity and metabolism of T-2 toxin in rats. Male weanling rats were fed diets containing 5% bentonite, anion exchange resin, cation exchange resin or vermiculite-hydrobiotite. Each diet was fed with and without 3 micrograms T-2 toxin/g of feed for 2 wk. Bentonite and anion exchange resin were ...

Most safety cases for the deep geological disposal of radioactive waste are reliant on the swelling of bentonite in the engineered barrier system as it saturates with groundwater. Assurance of safety therefore requires effective monitoring of bentonite saturation. The timeand fluid-dependent corrosion of synthetic magnets embedded in bentonite is demonstrated here to provide a novel and passive...

Aflatoxins can easily grow and develop in many feed ingredients influence the risk of several animal chronic diseases.The present study aimed to evaluate effect bentonite inclusion on performances, carcass yield, giblet, blood constituents broiler-fed contaminated aflatoxin through a meta-analytical approach. A database was developed based scientific publications that were searched using search...

Contamination of water resources with pesticides residues becomes a pressing problem in Gaza due to the frequent application of pesticides in the intensive agricultural system. This study tests the potential of using organo-bentonite as a porous material to remove bromoxynil residues from contaminated water. Bentonite surfaces were activated for removal of bromoxynil residues from water by simp...

Cadmium(Cd) is a non-essential heavy metal that highly toxic even at very low concentrations. Although Cd trace metal, when reached to high levels in agricultural soils, it can be easily absorbed by plants. Cadmium accumulation wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and its subsequent transfer food chain an important problem worldwide. Bentonite material essentially composed montmorillonite related clay ...

The aim of the present work was to quantify accessible porosities for iodide and for a water tracer (HTO) on water-saturated compacted clay samples (illite, montmorillonite and MX-80 bentonite) and to relate these macroscopic values to the forms of water in these porosities (surface/bulk water, external/internal water). Low field proton NMR was used to characterize and quantify the forms of wat...

Earth drilling is a method of making trenches for constructing piles. In this method, bentonite slurry used to protect the porous wall during trench excavation. The sludge from defined as industrial waste under Japanese law. Nevertheless, some companies dispose construction illegally. However, there are no analytical methods identifying sludge. Bentonite must be detected identify in suspicious ...

The present study aims to develop an innovative scientific methodology for adjusting the physicochemical composition of any clay soil make it appropriate construction applications. realized research was carried out on unexploited clayey extracted from Bensmim village (Morocco). Another sample "Extrabrick" brick manufactory also used as a reference since is produce high-quality bricks. Raw mater...

The influence of bentonite clay on the meat productivity pigs was studied. animals control group received main diet, experimental added to diet. As a result research, it found that in group, compared with control, live weight increased by 2.9%, absolute, average daily and relative increase 11.9%, 11.9% 7.8%, respectively. mercury concentration 37.5% lower than group.
