Detergency of Clay Soil Particles in a Water/Ethanol Mixture.

Application of Nano-Particles of Clay to ‎Improve Drilling Fluid

   Drilling fluids are an essential component of the rotary drilling process used to drill for oil and gas on land and offshore environments. The injection of this nano particle into drilling fluid increases the viscosity levels fluids. In these experiments, the rheological properties of the fluid including apparent viscosity (AV), plastic viscosity (PV), yielding point (YP), mud c...

Selectivity of Particles through Rill Erosion in Different Soil Textures

Sediment selectivity during transport may provide basic information for evaluating on-site and off-site impacts of the soil erosion. Limited information is, however, available on the selectivity of sediments in rill erosion, particularly in the rainfed furrows. Toward this, the sediment selectivity was investigated in three soil textures (loam, loamy sand sand clay loam) under 10% slope using 9...

Soil water, soil chemical and crop variations in a clay soil

Spatial properties of field soils vary in a complex manner. Especially in arid and semiarid areas, this variability affects plant quality and crop production. An experimental field plot was extensively sampled regarding soil water (378 gravimetrical samples), soil chemical content (314 samples), and crop yield and chemical content (26 samples) at the Cherfech agricultural field research station...

Quality evaluation of processed clay soil samples

INTRODUCTION This study assessed the microbial quality of clay samples sold on two of the major Ghanaian markets. METHODS The study was a cross-sectional assessing the evaluation of processed clay and effects it has on the nutrition of the consumers in the political capital town of Ghana. The items for the examination was processed clay soil samples. RESULTS Staphylococcus spp and fecal col...
