Due to chemical buffering by the canister corrosion products and bentonite minerals (particularly pyrite and siderite), it is not expected that the oxidizing conditions, which may form at the surface of spent fuel, will have a significant influence on the rest of the EBS (Smith Curti 1995). In this case, the solubility limits derived for the vitrified waste case can be directly applied - a redox front may exist within the canister corrosion products or bentonite but this will not influence releases from the nearfield to the geosphere. Extensive precipitation may occur at this redox front which may initially be in the form of colloids. The small pore size (average c. 2-lOnm, Pusch 1980 McKinley 1988) of the compacted bentonite should ensure that any colloids formed are immobile in this...

Minerals, particularly Bentonite, ate used to remove proteins that tend to cause haze in white wines. The natural tannin of ted wines usually removes unstable proteins from them. Excess tannin and related phenols can be removed and haze from them prevented by addition of proteins or adsorbents such as polyvinylpyttohdone. Addition of protein such as gelatin along with tannic acid can even be used to remove other proteins from white wines. Egg whites or albumen ate often used to fine ted wines. Casein can be used for either process, because it becomes insoluble in acidic solutions like wines. 

Bentonite has expected sihca content of 0.5 weight percent (F is 0.005). Silica density (A ) is 2.4 gm per cii cm, and bentonite (Ag) is 2.6. The calculation requires knowledge of mineral properties described by the factor (fghd ). Value of the factor can be estabhshed from fundamental data (Gy) or be derived from previous experience. In this example, data from testing a shipment of bentonite of 10 mesh top-size screen analysis determined value of the mineral factor to be 0.28. This value is scaled by the cube of diameter to ys-in screen size of the example shipment. The mineral factor is scaled from 0.28 to 52 by multiplying 0.28 with the ratio of cubed 9.4 mm (ys-in screen top-size of the shipment to be tested) and cubed 1.65 mm (equivalent to 10 mesh). 

Silicates with layer. structures include some of the most familiar and important minerals known to man, partieularly the clay minerals [such as kaolinite (china clay), montmorillonite (bentonite, fuller s earth), and vermiculite], the micas (e.g. muscovite, phlogopite, and biotite), and others such as chrysotile (white asbestos). 

The clay mineral bentonite (sodium montmorillonite) has an excellent ion exchange and adsorption capacity. Films can be applied to electrode surfaces from colloidal clay solutions by simple dip or spin coating that become electroactive after incorporation of electroactive cations or metal particles 136-143)... 

This is the most widely used naturally occurring rubber. The literature search shows that many research groups have prepared nanocomposites based on this rubber [29-32]. Varghese and Karger-Kocsis have prepared natural rubber (NR)-based nanocomposites by melt-intercalation method, which is very useful for practical application. In their study, they have found increase in stiffness, elongation, mechanical strength, and storage modulus. Various minerals like MMT, bentonite, and hectorite have been used. 

Complexes of tetravalent zirconium with organic acids, such as citric, tartaric, malic, and lactic acids, and a complex of aluminum and citric acid have been claimed to be active as dispersants. The dispersant is especially useful in dispersing bentonite suspensions [288]. Polymers with amine sulfide terminal moieties are synthesized by using aminethiols as chain transfer agents in aqueous addition polymerizations. The polymers are useful as mineral dispersants [1182]. 

Bentonite is the name for a hydrous aluminum silicate comprised principally of the clay mineral montmorillonite, notable for its ability to swell in water and to form a very low-permeability seal." It is available as powder, granule (chip), or pellets. Powder and granule sizes are produced by processing after mining. Bentonite powder... 

Other studies use soil or sediment samples for a more accurate indication of microbial activity in natural environments. In these samples, organic matter and clay particles play a role in metal toxicity.76112113 Both organic material and clay particles in soil can bind metals and reduce their bioavailability. For example, Pardue et al.87 demonstrated that much less solution-phase cadmium was required to inhibit trichloroaniline (TCA) dechlorination in a mineral-based soil than in a soil containing a higher concentration of organic matter. Other studies have shown that adding clay minerals to a medium mitigates toxicity. Clay minerals, such as kaolinite, montmorillonite, bentonite, and vermiculite, can bind to metals to decrease the amount that is bioavailable.112 115... 

Due to a lack of naturally occurring soils at a site, it is sometimes necessary to blend imported clay minerals with on-site soils to achieve a suitable blended material. The most common blend is a combination of on-site sandy materials and imported sodium bentonite. 

On-site sandy soils can also be blended with other clay soils available in the area, but natural clay soil is likely to form chunks that are difficult to break down into small pieces. Bentonites, obtained in dry, powdered forms, are much easier to blend with on-site sandy soils than are wet, sticky clods of clay. Materials other than bentonite can be used, such as atapulgite, a clay mineral that is insensitive to attack by waste. Soils can also be amended with lime, cement, or other additives. 

The entrapment of various enzymes and proteins by clay minerals proceeds by weak interactions including electrostatic interactions, hydrogen and van der Waals bonding. Additivity of these various attractive forces renders the adsorption irreversible in some cases, but usually a leaching of enzyme is observed under working conditions. In order to fix the enzyme irreversibly at the surface of the clay layers different processes have been tried. In order to fix invertase on bentonite, Monsan and Durand [90] previously treated the clay mineral with a coupling agent,...

Very many acidic solids and liquids, immiscible with hydrocarbons, will catalyse the oligomerisation of isobutene at ambient temperatures. Among the more common are syncatalysts prepared from boron fluoride and a protonic substance BH (B = OH, CHsO, C2H50, t-C4H90, CH3C02, etc.) mineral acids natural and synthetic alumino-silicates, (e.g., Fuller s earth, bentonite, attapulgite) and metal oxides containing small quantities of water.
