The proposed expansion would provide an estimated 435,000 tons of bentonite from public lands over the life of the project and would continue to employ approximately 15 mine employees, and 100 mill and contract employees.
The natural bentonite was purified in the laboratory to remove calcite, carbonates, and organic matters by the following protocol: the sample was first repeatedly washed with Milli-Q water and dried after each time. The dried bentonite clay (25 g) was soaked in 400 mL solution containing Na-Ac (0.1 N) and Ac-Ac adjusted to pH ≈ 5.0.
A new process for manufacturing organically compounded bentonite was developed successfully based on the organic intercalation and layered structure of bentonite. The main steps in the proposed process included wet sodium activation of bentonite ore, organic compounding and high-pressure roll grinding. The optimum …
