The montmorillonite content of bentonite is the controlling factor in its effectiveness as an extender. It is one of two extenders that are covered by an API specification. Bentonite can be added to any API class of cement, and is commonly used in conjunction with other extenders. Bentonite is used to: Prevent solids separation; …
Na-bentonite is preferred for CB barrier wall construction due to its swelling properties. This bentonite naturally occurs in Wyoming, USA but in the UK and Europe, most of the bentonite used in CB slurries and grouts is Na activated Ca-bentonite [14]. The conversion of Ca-bentonite to Na-bentonite involves treatment with sodium carbonate (soda ...

Water retention and swelling pressure tests were conducted on unsaturated compacted …
In New Mexico, Oklahoma and Wyoming, 25, six and eight wells have been plugged. In one trial in Barrow Island, Western Australia, in 2003, plugging a well with bentonite was estimated to cost A$16,500 (US$13,000), less than half the cost of using cement. It was also quicker, taking on average 39 working hours, compared to …
