The demand for milled bentonite is quite high in Nigeria and the raw material is also available in commercial quantity.

In this paper, a new method is introduced to produce sodium bentonite by treating calcium bentonite using seawater to eliminate the use of freshwater and reduces the amount of soda ash required for...

The raw clay samples were collected from a pit dug to a depth of about 3ft at Warsale and Kaza villages of Dikwa province of Borno State of Nigeria. The raw samples were crushed and grinded, then shaken with a test sieve shaker to obtain 63 µm particle size to suit API specifications for bentonite.

Bentonite used for drilling operations in the oil and gas industry in Nigeria is mainly imported into the country. This project evaluated the efficiency of additives and their function in enhancing the rheological and flow properties of local bentonite clay, obtained from Ibule-soro in Ondo State, Nigeria. X-Ray diffraction analysis of clay samples from …

During drilling mud preparation, large quantities of imported Bentonite clay are consumed by activities to develop petroleum and underground natural resources. In this research, locally made Bentonite clay was used, its rheological properties were investigated and compared with the stipulated America petroleum institute (API) standard values. The …

According to statistics provided by the major importers, the largest flows of imports of «Bentonite» in 2022: In 2022, the world exports of "Bentonite" exceeded $990 million (according to external trade statistics of 96 countries ). It was $809 million in the previous year (according to merchandise trade statistics of 86 countries).

Bentonite Mining In Nigeria, The Pre-Feasibility Report. ₦100,000.00. The Nigeria nation is blessed with abundant mineral resources; fossil fuels and solid minerals. The most popular being the fossil fuels since these constitute the nation's greatest foreign exchange earner. They have, therefore, tended to overshadow the solid mineral ...

This study shows that sodium bentonite and kaolin clay from Auchi Edo state Nigeria can be improved on for FCCU fillers application. Although potassium and magnesium oxides exist in the crude mineral clay, Fe 2 O 3 contributed the most substantial amount of impurities for both local and foreign clay.

Nigeria is Africa's most populous nation and the largest economy, rich in petroleum resources but with no world-class metallic mineral resources.

Thermal treatment method is considered as a cost-effective approach for improving the properties of bentonite ( Gan et al. 2009; Yin et al. 2017 ). Hence, thermal treatment was used to modify bentonite obtained from local deposits and to investigate the performance of both raw and treated bentonites for the removal of sodium from water.

Furthermore, estimation of the Nigerian bentonite reserve has been spearheaded by the Raw Materials Research Development Council (RMRDC), which is a research parastatal of the Federal Government ...

Bentonite clay from Pindiga, Gombe State, Nigeria was investigated for its mineral content using X-ray diffraction technique. The chemical composition was also determined using X-ray fluorescence ...

Abstract. This study explains the FT-IR, XRF and XRD characterization of commercially available kaolin clay and sodium bentonite clay, potential catalysts for thermo-catalytic pyrolysis in plastic waste valorization. The mineral phase in the presence of chlorite, cristobalite, halloysite, and quartz of kaoline clay was identified by XRD.

The raw Pindiga clay had silica and alumina content of 43.60 and 14.00 wt% respectively, these are within the range of values reported for other Nigerian bentonitic clays [4, 7, 12].

The bleaching performance of raw and acid activated Yola montmorillonite clay was studied by James et al. (2008). The best bleaching performance was obtained with clay sample activated with 5M H 2 ...

Properties of locally formulated drilling mud using Nigerian bentonite The mineral characterization of bentonite clay deposits in Nigeria in its raw form have indicated that the clays are mainly calcium-based montmorillonite and this differs significantly from the industry standard which is a sodium based montmorillonite clay.

Barite is a non-metallic mineral which is simply barium sulfate (BaSO 4) and is largely used by the oil and gas industry as a weighting agent in drilling mud during drilling operations. The specific gravity of barite should range from 4.1 to 4.6 to be applicable as a drilling mud additive. This study considered the occurrence, utilization and challenges …

Arsenic (As) contamination of the bodies of water, especially drinking water sources, is a crucial environmental issue with direct implications on human health. In developing countries such as Pakistan, many inhabitants are exposed to contaminated drinking water. For several decades, there has been a search for cost-effective and …

The local bentonite clay used for this study was a raw, non-treated bentonite clay sourced from sourced from Ewekoro (6°56′N 3°13′E) in Ogun State, South-West Nigeria. Clay storage condition in the laboratory was at room temperature.

Current bentonite clay consumption in drilling operations across Nigeria is put at estimation of above 50 thousand tons/year.

The raw bentonite clay sample was obtained from the mining site at Dijah-Monkin, Taraba State, North-East Nigeria (8°00′N latitude 10°30′E longitude). The sample was first purified by beneficiation and followed by modification using calcinations.
