The objective of this research is to investigate the concentration effect on the rheological properties of different bentonite suspensions. Experiments were performed with different bentonite type and concentrations and the results were evaluated by different rheological models (Bingham plastic, Power law, Sisco, Casson, Herchel Bulkley and Robertson Stiff) describing the flow of non-Newtonian fluids by mathematical equations in terms of shear rate and shear stress.

Rheological properties of asphaltite-water slurries
Hicyilmaz, Cahit; Ozun, Savas; Altun, Naci Emre (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2006-09-20)
In this study, the rheological characteristics of asphaltite- water slurries ( AWSs) were investigated with respect to some of the most important parameters in the preparation of slurries. The effects of pulp density, chemical addition, pulp pH, and particle size on the rheological behavior and viscosity of AWSs were studied. The role of demineralization of asphaltite was also investigated, and rheological properties of raw and relatively demineralized asphaltites were compared. Results showed that viscosit...
Rheological and thermal analysis of bentonites for water base drilling fluids
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2004-02-01)
The objective of this research is to investigate the rheological and thermal properties of bentonites for water base drilling fluids. Rheological experiments were performed with 4 different bentonite samples and clay percentages, cation-exchange capacity (CEC), swelling volume, pH, and physical and rheological properties of the samples are determined. The thermal behaviors of bentonite samples were investigated using simultaneous thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques. ...
Improvements on combustion properties of asphaltite and correlation of activation energies with combustion results
Hicyilmaz, C; Altun, Naci Emre (Elsevier BV, 2006-06-01)
Processing of Sirnak Asphaltite sample by gravity and flotation concentration methods was investigated to decrease its ash content. Finely disseminated inorganic constituents of asphaltite revealed the difficulty of operation. Ash content of asphaltite was reduced from 44.86% to 31.44% by gravity concentration method with a 75% combustible recovery. On the other hand, it was possible to reduce ash content to 24% by flotation with almost same combustible recovery. Combustion characterization of raw and impro...
Thermogravimetry of selected bentonites
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2002-10-01)
In this research the application of thermal analysis techniques (TG-DTA) to the characterization of bentonite samples is presented. The thermal behavior of 4 bentonite samples was investigated using simultaneous thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques. It was observed that all bentonite samples exhibit 2 weight loss events on heating. The first weight loss event corresponds to the loss of molecular water from the exchange layer, whereas the second weight loss event corre...
Alteration of permeability by drilling fluid invasion and flow reversal
Iscan, A. Gurkan; Civan, Faruk; Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Elsevier BV, 2007-08-01)
Permeability impairment caused by drilling fluids and subsequent cleaning and permeability enhancement by backflow are investigated by means of experimental and simulation studies. Damage caused by two different drilling fluids is measured experimentally by core tests as a function of the filtration pressure and analyzed using a simulator describing the fines migration and retention in porous media. Simulations were run both with experimental and synthetic data in forward and backward directions along the c...
