Bentonite can be considered as a cheap and effective admixture for cement grouts with regard to stability. This paper presents the results of experimental studies conducted in the laboratory, in ...
During January 2014, Norway experienced unusually cold and dry weather conditions leading to very low indoor relative humidity (RH) in inhabited (heated) wooden homes.
Calcium bentonite. In contrast with sodium bentonite, the main characteristic of calcium bentonite is not that of a water absorbent material. Instead, its main trait is the adsorption (binding) of ionic particles — such as trace minerals, but also some mycotoxins. Thus, using calcium bentonite is a delicate exercise.
Bentonite has two types of sodium and calcium, where sodium bentonite was used in this study due to extensive applications used in cases in the field and the high swelling capacity of sodium ...
