Abstract:CATIONIC DIFFERENTIATION OF BENTONITES BY INFRARED: A STUDY OF THE HYDRATION EFFECTS OF EXCHANGEABLE CATIONS. In the bentonite industry, the most common procedure for quality control of the ore and the sodium activation process is the swelling method. However, this tool is restricted only to the differentiation of the sodium and non-sodium types, not considering the other cationic varieties. The objective of this study was to establish parameters for cationic differentiation of bentonites based on Near Infrare… Show more
