The bentonites in pelotherapy: thermal properties of clay pastes from Sardinia (Italy)
Conference Paper
Publication Date:
1999
abstract:
Thermal properties of commercial bentonites were studied. The cooling kinetics of the bentonites along with the thermal mud of Benetutti Spa were determined. A mathematical model for the cooling kinetics was obtained by a theoretical cooling equation, with instrumental constants derived from a reference paste TiO2 at 50% moisture. The heat capacity of the pastes introduced into the model was calculated from chemical and mineralogical data.
