The depletion of onshore oil reserves along with a rapid increase in the global energy demand has driven the oil industry to explore and produce oil from deepwater fields. However, because of high salinity in the subsea formation, salt contamination is becoming one of the most critical challenges to bentonite water-based drilling fluids (BT-WDFs), …

Environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) The ESEM has been defined as a SEM capable of maintaining a minimum water vapor pressure of at least 609 Pa in its specimen chamber. It has a simple procedure for sample preparation, a good depth of field, and a higher permitted gas pressure. Therefore, ESEM is extremely important for the …

Through scanning electron microscope (SEM) test, the particle arrangement and pore structure of bentonite modified soil sample can be analyzed intuitively from two-dimensional aspect 5, while the ...

The Sn-bentonite was prepared from Ca-bentonite (Section 2.1.1) and from SnCl 2 initial solution (Section 2.1.2). Sn-bentonite was produced by suspending 5 g of Ca-bentonite in 25 cm 3 of the SnCl 2 solution. The suspension was stirred for 5 min at room temperature (25 °C), then the filtrate was filtered and the cycle was started again.

Au début du 18e siècle, un microscope typique coûtait environ 5 livres sterling (à l'époque, l'équivalent de trois mois de salaire d'un ouvrier). Pepys (1633-1703), le célèbre diariste, fut inspiré par le Micrographia de Hooke, qu'il décrivit comme "le livre le plus ingénieux" (Jardine, 42), et décida de dépenser 5 £ et 10 ...

Observation of Microstructures of Compacted Bentonite by Microfocus X-Ray Computerized Tomography (Micro-CT) DOI: 10.1080/18811248.2001.9715085 …

The natural bentonite was purified in the laboratory to remove calcite, carbonates, and organic matters by the following protocol: the sample was first repeatedly washed with Milli-Q water and dried after each time. The dried bentonite clay (25 g) was soaked in 400 mL solution containing Na-Ac (0.1 N) and Ac-Ac adjusted to pH ≈ 5.0.

Bentonite is an important impure clay, aluminum phyllosilicate adsorbent, usually contains montmorillonite with structure a gibbsite layer placed between silica layers to produce the structural unit (Fig. 2.15) [11, 143].The replacements are specially within the octahedral layer (Mg 2 +, Fe 2 +) and to a much lesser degree between the silicate layer (Al 3 +/Si 4 +).

This study reports evidence for barite (BaSO4) formation from aqueous solution via nonclassical pathways. Our observations support the occurrence of a liquid–liquid separation in the absence of any additive as the initial stage of the crystallization process. The first solid (primary) particles or nuclei seem to form within the initially formed liquidlike …

Constant-load swelling tests were performed on the Czech B75 bentonite. • Swelling strains were smaller under larger loads and lower dry densities. • Hydration with …

The specimens were prepared by compacting the bentonite powder at hygroscopic water content (~10%) to the desired initial dry density (ρ d) in 50-mm diameter molds.The specimens were then installed in a conventional oedometer apparatus (Fig. 1 a).To leave sufficient room for swelling, the amount of powder was chosen such as the …

The objective of this research is to provide a better understanding of the relation between the macroscopic and microscopic behaviours of two clayey materials, a kaolinite and a mixture of kaolinite and montmorillonite. At the macroscopic scale, the approach consists of measuring the water content, void ratio and degree of saturation …

The amounts of bentonite required to stabilize wines has increased over the last 10–20 years. Doses of 0.2–0.4 g l −1 bentonite were generally enough to stabilize the wines. However, nowadays, to ensure a secure stabilization, doses of 0.8–1 g l −1 bentonite are often employed (Hsu and Heatherbell, 1987a, Paetzold et al., 1990).
