Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine the mineralogical characteristics of the various
bentonites in greater detail to determine if subtle differences in the mineralogy could be related to
the chemical analyzes and physical test data and perhaps explain the anomalous plant
performances reported. The study was based on field samples collected from four of the
bentonite companies operating in Wyoming and on representative bentonite samples provided by
the taconite plants operating in Minnesota. Chemical and physical tests were run on all of the
samples. X-ray diffi-action .patterns obtained from the bentonite samples under different
conditions: "as received", minus 2 micron-air dried, minus 2 micron-w/glycol, and minus 2 micron
after heat treatment at 250°C.
