Beneficiation and applications of an Egyptian bentonite

The bentonite concentrates after alkaline activation are suitable for drilling muds while the products of acid activation can be used as bleaching clay. Cost–benefit analysis of the suggested flowsheet, of beneficiation and activation, proved the economic viability of such processes. Utilization of these clays, after their upgrading and ...

BENEFICIATION AND CHARACTERISATION OF A BENTONITE FROM …

The XRD confirmed the presence of montmorillonite meaning the sample contained bentonite, while the XRF confirmed that the sample is Ca-based rather than the standard Nabased, hence the need for beneficiation. Beneficiation of the bentonite was done by ion exchange with Na2CO3 followed by addition with different compositions of viscosifiers ...

Life Cycle Assessment in mineral processing – a review of the …

3.1.1 Group 1 – mining and beneficiation as a single stage. Most of the studies considered beneficiation altogether with the mining operation. For example, Awuah-Offei and Adekpedjou carried out a review scrutinising the very first LCAs applied to the mining sector.This work is focused on the extraction stage, and it mentions the beneficiation stage only when it is …

Dataset on the beneficiation of a Nigerian bentonite clay …

Beneficiation procedure of local bentonite clay. The beneficiation procedure followed was similar to what was adopted by . The clay sample lumps were crushed and large particles such as pebbles and dirt were removed. The crushed clay was screened with 2 mm sieves to remove stones and other coarse particles. The resulting material was finally ...

Naturally occurring bentonite clay: Structural augmentation

Bentonite sample post beneficiation was treated with sulfuric acid followed by calcination. The structural augmentation of the acid-treated bentonite was examined by characterization techniques comprising of XRF, FTIR, XRD, DTA, SEM and BET. Detailed characterization revealed substantial removal of metal oxides along with structural water ...

Mining and processing | Bentonite

Bentonite is a raw material present in many countries and mined in open pit quarries. Bentonite deposits are most often quite large, with lenticular beds, only a few meters deep. Bentonite production process features ore mining, sodium activation – if required -, drying, and milling. Sodium activation is performed to convert calcium bentonite ...
