Thermal activation is observed to increase the intensity of quartz peak due to the removal of impurities and removal of water from the bentonite structure. This indicates that quartz cannot be eliminated from clay by thermal activation. Previous works also reported the enhancement of this spectrum after thermal treatment (Amari et al. 2018).

One of the most common chemical modifications of clays, used for both industrial and scientific purposes, is their acid activation. This consists of the treatment of clay with a mineral acid solution, usually HCl or H 2 SO 4.The main task is to obtain partly dissolved material of increased specific surface area, porosity and surface acidity …
Bentonite clay is one of the oldest clays that humankind has been using from ancient times as traditional habits and remedies. In recent years researchers have found many applications of bentonite ...
mixtures (1:1 ratio) were used in the bentonite clay activation. The activated clays were used in the UMO treatment in a ratio of 1:4 w/v, using batch adsorption processes (contact time=12 min).
The bentonite clay can be utilized as natural, or after an acid activation or a mechano-chemical treatment depending on the desired application. The high-energy …
2.2 Methods 2.2.1 Natural bentonite activation Natural bentonite activation was performed by a two-step procedure based on the work done by Toor et al. [28], thermal activation followed by acid activation. Thermal activation was conducted by heating the sample using muffle furnace at 400 °C for 3 hours then cooled and stored
In general, bentonite, a multi-components mixture of clay and minerals of aluminium phyllosilicate (hydrated aluminasilicate), is a two-dimensional nano-material, which fall under the smectite ...
One of the most important indicators of mechanical activation of clay minerals is the effect of activation time on the strength of the mixture. One of the most important parameters in the preparation of drilling fluid based on clays is their ability
