Abstract
The paper shows the possibility of using such quantitative characteristics of the element-oxygen chemical bond as the covalent character, metallic character and ionic character in substances to select a set of technological methods and develop a technology for nanomodification of natural bentonite aluminosilicates. The research results showed that thermal activation of bentonite at 200, 300, 380 and 400 °C with different modes of isothermal exposure (15, 30, 60, 120 minutes) does not significantly affect the efficiency of its modification with silicon (SS) and aluminum (AS) oxide nanoparticles, estimated by the increment of the compressive strength and the adsorption index for methylene blue. Obtaining a 46 % aqueous suspension of bentonite and modifying it with silicon and aluminum oxide nanoparticles followed by ultrasonic treatment after standing decreases the particle size by more than 4 times, which is a promising technological solution for improving the performance properties of ceramics, molding mixtures, adsorbents and other materials based on bentonite from various deposits.
