The composition of bentonite clay produced at our enterprise.

This clay contains about 70% of the mineral component, which belongs to the class of smectite minerals. These are montmorillonite, nontronite, beidellite, hydromica, kaolinite, carbonate, quartz, as well as some other components.

This material has a layered structure and moisture, getting into it, allows the material to swell several times.

In addition to the above components, it has bentonite and other minerals in the composition: sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron oxide, as well as some others. At the same time, it is indicated that the properties of the entire mixture will depend on the amount of one or another component.

So, a suspension with a large amount of sodium will have the highest swelling rate, but calcium bentonite will be significantly inferior to it according to these indicators.

Clay bentonite also has the following properties:

Sedimentation 0%;
Density up to 1.048 cm3 per gram;
Viscosity up to 25 sec;
Volumetric weight up to 0.9 g/cm3.

The range of use of bentonite clay is incredibly wide. So, this includes the following areas of application:
Cosmetology;
Metallurgy;
Production of ceramics;
The medicine;
Swimming pools, including industrial ones;
Capacities and reservoirs of gas stations;
Waste landfills;
Agricultural sphere;
Roads built on soft ground;
artificial reservoirs;
Construction, including underground;
Manufacturing of lacquer products;
Wine production.
But the main scope is the use of this material in well drilling. A special liquid is made from it, with the help of which flushing work is carried out, which makes it possible to get rid of residues in the cavity of the rock well. At the same time, non-activated or activated solutions will differ significantly in quality.

The mechanism of action of such a gel-like liquid from bentonite is quite simple. It envelops the cavity of the well with the thinnest layer that prevents gas or oil from entering it. This process is called claying and it allows you to exclude the possibility of oil flowing from the well, and also allows you to speed up the drilling process.

Bentonite clay powder is a product of drying and fine grinding of natural material - clay, which has retained all its colloidal-chemical properties. It is widely used in the national economy:

in the mining industry - for the preparation of drilling fluids;

in foundry - as binding additives in the production of molding sands;

in ferrous metallurgy - for pelletizing iron ore concentrate;

in ceramic production - to impart high strength to products;

in construction - for the production of high-quality expanded clay;

in the food industry - for the purification of liquids;

in medicine and pharmacology - for the manufacture of medicines;

in agriculture - to improve the structure of the soil.

Bentonite is one of the most versatile and inexpensive natural products in which the mineral content of montmorillonite is 50% or more. From the point of view of practical use, alkaline ones are the best, since they can be used without additional processing.

Bentonite production - Private Joint Stock Company "Weighting Plant".
Natural clay mineral with a number of valuable unique physical and chemical properties, as well as non-toxicity, chemical resistance and rich composition, plays a comprehensive role in many areas of human activity: industry, medicine, agriculture, construction and environmental protection.

Bentonite is a colloidal clay of volcanic origin, which has adsorptive, binding properties, dispersion, water absorption. It contains elements such as calcium, sulfur, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, manganese and others.

The best raw material for benetonite is mined in the Grigorievsky mine.

Due to all these properties, bentonite clays have become widely used in advanced economies in recent years. The main raw material base in Ukraine is a high-quality bentonite deposit, which is located in the Donetsk region of the Artyomovsky district

- this is the Grigorievsky Mine. It has been in operation since 2002. Annual production is 150 thousand tons. Remaining license reserves - 4.9 million tons. Clays of the alkaline earth type, after modification, were used for the production of pellets, drilling fluids (clay powder TU U 320.00136751.032-99) and as molding raw materials.
