The bilayer ASC system was prepared on a TC4 substrate with a diameter of 25.4 mm. The NiCrAl bond coating was prepared by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS, GP-80, Jiujiang, China, as shown in Table 1) utilizing NiCrAl powder (75 ∼ 100 μm).The NiCrAl-bentonite ASC was prepared by oxyacetylene flame spraying (FS, QT …
The effects of global climate change are becoming more evident and accelerating at an unprecedented pace. For this reason, human activities urgently need a paradigm shift to stop this entropic process before the consequences become irreversible. In this sense, the use of highly eco-efficient materials aimed at conveniently neutralizing …
Bentonite, a versatile clay material, plays a crucial role in various industries due to its unique properties. This article provides an overview of bentonite, including its definition, characteristics, industrial applications, potential product combinations, and key considerations for commercial procurement. 1. What is Bentonite? Bentonite is a …
Purpose: The fate of complex contaminants in soils has aroused increasing attention of environmental scientists. Although heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are often encountered together in contaminated sites, the interactions between the co-existing contaminants with clay minerals and humic substances require further …
The electric repulsion between these ions makes it play the role of dispersant in coatings. In the waterproof coating, the bentonite particles in high-speed movement collide and cut with the hot asphalt, breaking and gelatinizing the asphalt. The polar substances in the gelled asphalt particles adsorb the bentonite particles, forming a ...
The amount of plastics used globally today exceeds a million tonnes annually, with an alarming annual growth. The final result is that plastic packaging is thrown into the environment, and the problem of waste is increasing every year. A real alternative is the use bio-based polymer packaging materials. Research carried out in the laboratory …
Since nuclear energy is crucial in the decarbonization of the energy supply, one hurdle to remove is the handling of high-level radioactive waste (HLW). Disposal of HLW in a deep geological repository has long been deemed a viable permanent option. In the design of a deep geological repository, compacted bentonite is the most commonly …
Rheology in Coatings and Role of Rheology Modifiers Rheology modifiers are vital additives used in almost every coating and ink to adjust the rheological characteristics. Apart from getting desired viscosity, these additives also help in controlling paint shelf stability, ease of application, open time / wet edge and sagging.
Nickel-Graphite and Nickel Chromium Aluminum Bentonite coatings have been used for years in the aerospace industry. Today, more applications in the IGT sector are going to clearance control systems. ... and the physical characteristics of the debris. The temperature and the environment can also play a role in wear. An example where solid ...
To study the synergistic catalysis of an ex situ catalyst and in situ clay in the aquathermolysis of heavy oil, in this paper, a series of bentonite-supported catechol-metal complexes were prepared, and the catalytic viscosity reduction performance in the aquathermolysis of heavy oil was investigated. Under the optimized conditions, the …
Activated bentonites are low-cost acid catalysts used in several reactions. However, their application at an industrial scale is affected by the formation of colloidal suspensions when these bentonites are in aqueous solutions. In order to overcome these limitations, this work proposes obtaining a catalyst based on a composite containing …
Rising world population is expected to increase the demand for nitrogen fertilizers to improve crop yield and ensure food security. With existing challenges on low nutrient use efficiency (NUE) of urea and its environmental concerns, controlled release fertilizers (CRFs) have become a potential solution by formulating them to synchronize …
The use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) can improve the properties of concrete, reduce pressure on natural resources and CO 2 emissions. However, certain SCMs are unable to meet the growing demand of construction sector. The presented study investigates the role of bentonite clay (BC) and its synergistic effect …
Bisphenol A (BPA) as a typical phenolic compounds has been widely used in inner coating of plastic baby bottles, food and beverage cans, which causes endocrine disorders that threaten the health of fetuses and children (Jin et al., 2015). Herein, we reviewed the recent advances of removal bisphenol A (BPA) on bentonite-based …
A novel NiTi/BN composite abradable coating and two traditional Ni/C and Ni/BN coatings were manufactured with NiAl as the bond layer using thermal spray technology and their corrosion behaviors were investigated. In salt spray corrosion testing of the Ni/BN coating, defective sites of the metal matrix were corroded preferentially. …
and bentonite, are compared in an aromatic-free alkyd formulation. The formulation is given in Table 4. The Hectorite based material is BENTONE® 38, while the bentonite based grade is BENTONE® 34. This product selection was made as both grades are similar in amount and type of the quaternary ammonium component used.
When compared to bentonite, attapulgite clay is often found to be superior when being used for suspension and flow characteristics in paints and coatings and binder applications. In the drilling industry it is often referred to as "salt gel" because of the ability to perform in high salt environments where the chemical make-up of bentonite ...
