The mineral bentonite can be found all over the world. It is formed from weathering volcanic ash. It has some exceptional properties: when stirred into water, it demonstrates a so-called thixotropic reaction. It reacts like a fluid when mechanically stressed, for example, shaken or stirred. However, it hardens in quiescent condition because its viscosity increases.<\/p>

The most common use of bentonite is in drilling fluids. The bentonite in the flush fluid lubricates and cools the cutting tools while protecting against corrosion. As the drilling fluid generates hydrostatic pressure in the borehole, it hinders fluid and gas penetration. The drilling liquid conveys the drill cuttings to the surface. When the purge pumps have idle periods, the thixotropy of the bentonite hinders the stone material from dropping back into the drilled shaft.<\/p>

As a flush fluid, bentonite seals the drilled shaft from water ingress downwards and at the sides of the shaft. The mineral forms a firm sludge cake on the bore wall which provides the borehole with additional stability. The fine bentonite particles enter into the bore wall, swell and harden. Depending on the constitution of the ground structure, fine and coarse particles are needed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

As bentonite contains 60-80% montmorillonite it provides special properties such as swelling and adsorption. The triple-layer silicate can absorb an exceptional quantity of water and expands by a multiple of the original size. The inner surface of a gram of bentonite is 400\u2013600 m\u00b2 \u2013 normal clay only has 2 m\u00b2. The swelling and viscosity behavior of bentonite in the presence of water, as well as its particularly high inner surface, open numerous application options for the mineral.<\/p>

Bentonite is used as a food additive as well as in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals as an additive in ceramics, in foundries, for paper and detergents, and also as a surface coating in nanotechnology for varnish and paint. The multifaceted mineral is a heat stabilizer in plastics, air purgers, absorbents, and binders.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
