The characterization of the bentonite residue using the clay as a substitute for making ceramic specimens was the initial step of the research. XDR was used to determine the atomic and molecular structure of a ceramic crystal. The results showed that the bentonite residue has main smectic clay minerals, kaolinite, and quartz.

Beneficiation of the bentonite ore. The 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 ...
