BENTONITE-CEMENT AND ITS APPLICATIONS

Until recently, bentonite has mainly been used in soil injection and grouting and as an auxiliary material in drilling works. The properties of bentonite may be considerably improved by the addition and intimate mixing of a certain amount of cement. The article deals with the new applications of bentonite, cement and water systems.
