the aim of this research was optimization of refining of raw sugarcane juice using bentonite for production of natural liquid sugar or cane honey. non-sugar substances of raw sugarcan juice contains: colorants, polysaccharides, gums, proteins, etc that affect on efficiency and quality of the final product and should remove from raw sugarcane juice. gelatin is a protein which is used as an aid c...

Mixtures of crushed excavated COx claystone and bentonite are considered as a potential backfill solution for the French disposal concept radioactive waste. In present work, hydro-mechanical behaviour claystone/sodium mixtures was experimentally investigated various contents (≤40% in total mass) densities. Demineralized, site water cementitious alkaline were used. Test on physicochemical proper...

Three-layered clay minerals such as montmorillonite (bentonite) exhibit very short transverse relaxation times. This is especially true for samples with relatively low water contents in the region of 20% to 30%, which is the water content typically used in environmental technology applications (e.g., as a mineral liner material for landfills). The diffusion of water in samples with such short t...

A comparison is made of tests for thyroglobulin antibody, using gel diffusion, electroprecipitin, bentonite flocculation, tanned red cell agglutination, and latex slide agglutination techniques on sera from cases of Hashimoto's disease and other thyroid disorders. Any increase in gamma globulin was also noted from the serum electrophoretic pattern. The gel diffusion and electroprecipitin tests ...

In this study, the main objective is the preparation and the characterization of a modified Algerian bentonite based adsorbent by intercalation with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMA). Natural and modified bentonites were characterized using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The X-ray results indicate that the geometry of the int...
