Offering sodium bentonite and sodium bicarbonate free-choice to lactating dairy cattle
… to evaluate the effects of free-choice intake of sodium bentonite and sodium bicarbonate on physiological and production parameters. Eight Jerseys and seventeen Holsteins (four fistulated) were randomly assigned to two groups to equalize stage of lactation, age and production history. Two diets …

Engineering characteristics of compacted sand-bentonite mixtures
… soil are rarely available in the literature. Sodium bentonite can be added to Perth sandy soil as active clay in an appropriate amount to create a cost-effective liner/barrier material, especially for landfill applications. Bentonite has been used for such applications in other parts of the …

Protein-Intercalated Bentonite for Bio-composites
… This work investigated the potential use of bentonite clay for treatment of meat rendering waste water by adsorption and utilizing the spent bentonite for bioplastic fillers. Models were applied to predict the organic adsorption and the sedimentation of clay particles in solution. Various …

Limiting membrane and diffusion behavior of a compacted sand-bentonite mixture for hydraulic and chemical containment
Sodium-bentonite (Na-bentonite) commonly is used either as an additive component or as the sole component of engineered barriers used for waste containment applications, because the tendency of Na-bentonite to exhibit high swell can result in the restriction of advective and diffusive contaminant …

The effects of feeding aflatoxin contaminated swine diets with clays on performance, mineral metabolism, immune response and liver function in weanling and growing Pigs
… of Study I, weanling pigs (n=96) were fed 1% sodium bentonite (SB) with and without AC (922 ppb). In the grower phase, 48 pigs from the nursery phase were continued on SB treatments for 5 wk; AC was discontinued. In the metabolism phase, 24 barrows from the nursery phase were continued on SB …

Selected factors affecting measurement of the hydraulic conductivity of geosynthetic clay liners
… barriers typically comprising a layer of sodium bentonite sandwiched between two geotextiles. Upon hydration and permeation with water at low effective stress (σ´) (e.g., typically ≤ ~30 kPa [4 psi]), the bentonite in GCLs, which typically is initially in an air-dried condition, swells to …

Investigation of Temperature, Solution Strength, and Applied Stress Effects on Cation Exchange Processes in Geosynthetic Clay Liners
… durations on cation exchange processes in sodium bentonite (Na-B) geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs). The test program was intended to determine if the variables of temperature, solution strength, and applied stress had beneficial or detrimental effects on the engineering behavior of Na-B GCLs …
