Montmorillonite is a multifunctional clay mineral and a major component of bentonite. Montmorillonite has been used in various industrial and pharmaceutical fields due to its unique characteristics, which include swelling and adsorption. The high adsorption capacity of montmorillonite contributes to increase drug entrapment and sustained ...

Montmorillonite showed 8 times greater adhesion than kaolinite in both their most adhesive forms. The time until dissipation of adhesion was 15 times greater for montmorillonite than for kaolinite. Montmorillonite adhesion increased and decreased in a bell-shaped curve as the degree of wetness increased. The curve for kaolinite was a …

The morphology of Fe/Ni-montmorillonite (Fig. 3a) was found to be of spherical shapes (400–600 nm in diameter) which were connected in chains of beads probably due to the electronic and magnetic ...

To investigate the interaction between the montmorillonite layer and acrylic acid or acrylate anions, molecular dynamics simulations were performed. The composition of the montmorillonite layer was given by the formula Na 0.75[Si 7.75Al 0.25][Al 3.5Mg 0.5]O 20(OH) 4. This is a simplified composition of Na-montmorillonite (Wyoming) [16].

Bentonite is to be used as a sealing material for long-term storage of radioactive waste. During permafrost periods the buffer may freeze, causing the following: montmorillonite dehydration, ice formation, and pressure build-up that may fracture the surrounding rock. No previous study has been done on freezing of bentonite in saline …

The volume of a typical montmorillonite particle is about 1 ×10 –14 mm 3, considering the particle as a rectangular prism. Taking the density of soil solids as 2.7 g/cc, the weight of a typical montmorillonite particle is of the order of 2.7 ×10 –17 g. Due to the large surface area, the magnitude of total surface forces becomes more.
