The oil production industry in Nigeria operates both onshore and more recently offshore in the coastal areas located in the oil-rich Niger-Delta. Unfortunately, the drilling mud additives currently used in the country are all imported and at huge foreign exchange costs. Therefore the objective of the current effort is development of drilling …
Chemical Beneficiation of Bentonite Clay The procedure used for the chemical beneficiation was the modification of the methods prescribed by Musaab, 2014. The amount components used in the chemical beneficiation were soda ash, distilled water and bentonite clay. About 12g of soda ash was mixed with 350 mL of distilled water
This paper presents dataset on the beneficiation of a Nigerian clay mineral for drilling mud application. The experimental design applied used a Response Surface Design (RSM), which involved 2 4 (2-Level, 4-Factors) to generate statistical models, and analyze the dataset. The independent variables were (Bentonite; X 1), (Polymer; X 2), …

Barite is an inorganic mineral mainly constituted by barium sulfate (BaSO4) which finds applications across a variety of industries. Low quality barite can be beneficiated to meet high-purity requirement. Thus, in this work, we developed an optimum beneficiation process for upgrading barite-bearing ore from Azare in Bauchi State, …
The beneficiation of Nigerian bentonite using local materials such as periwinkle, snail shell and Mucuna solannie, according to previous research, has discovered that in order to beneficiate the ...
Due to the deficiency of the Nigerian bentonite (NB), a good majority of bentonites used within Nigeria are imported. This research work seeks to evaluate the economic …
Nigeria as a nation is blessed with abundant bentonite resources which if well harnessed will reduce the importation of drilling fluid ingredients and specialized drilling …
The raw Pindiga clay sample had high iron oxide content up to 26.54 wt% which reduced to 24.15 wt% after beneficiation, while the raw Gambe clay contained 11.87 wt% iron oxide which reduced to 4. ...
Barite is a non-metallic mineral which is simply barium sulfate (BaSO4) and is largely used by the oil and gas industry as a weighting agent in drilling mud during drilling operations.
According to previous research, beneficiation of Nigerian bentonite from its predominant calcium-based composition to sodium-based clay can go a long way in improving its …
Beneficiation of the bentonite oreThe results of beneficiation showed that applying a flowsheet based on attrition scrubbing of the crushed bentonite ore followed by classification with a hydrocyclone succeeded in removing much of the associated quartz and calcite as an underflow (about 15 wt.%) fraction. So, this underflow fraction was …
Beneficiation or activation of these clays with a sodium salt has been largely used by researchers in converting the calcium based montmorillonite ... fluid formulated from Nigerian bentonite organoclay modified with fatty acid based imidazolium surfactants in HPHT conditions. This paper studies certain effects of the
