Bentonite are usually found in deep geographical areas. They are
produced from rock, fossils, weathering of volcanic ash and
disposal of high-level of radioactive waste in many countries.
Bentonite mainly consist of clay mineral such as montmorillinite
and kaolinite. They mainly exist in cationic form of organic
compounds such as aromatic or aliphatic hydrocarbon and are
employed to modify high cations exchange capacity, higher
structural integrity, thermal conductivity, high chemical buffering
capacity, and stiffness. Bentonite is a layer of natural silicate
clay mineral having numerous properties such as large specific
surface area, great absorption and interlayer exchangeable cation.
Bentonite consists of outstanding physico-chemical properties which
make it applicable in the areas such as water treatment, medical,
groundwater barrier, farming, and construction. They are well known
to be one of the most versatile and inexpensive treatments. The
current book describes the bentonite characteristic, uses and
implications for the environment in many areas of environmental
science in particular, such as remediation, clean energy, water
research and waste management. Researchers working in the area will
benefit from the fundamental concepts and advanced approaches
described in the book. The book is going to also be beneficial to
researchers who are working for their graduate and postgraduate
degrees in the area of science and technology. The book also
provides a platform for all researchers as it covers a wide
background in the subject from recent literature, abbreviations,
and summaries. Additionally, this book covers a broader research
area of chemistry, physics, environmental science, materials
science, polymer science and engineering to present an
interdisciplinary approach. This book contains the fundamental
knowledge as well as recent advancements in the research and
development of bentonite. The book also covers recent approaches
and prospects about the current research and development of
bentonite.
