摘要

这项工作的目的是对尼日利亚阿比亚州Amuda Isuochi的粘土进行表征。该地区的初步研究工作很少。表征包括化学和元素分析、X射线衍射、比表面积分析、热分析（TGA、DTA）和粒度分布。结果表明，该粘土为高岭土。观察到比表面积为251m2/g，平均粒径为84.67d.nm，多分散指数为0.203。该样品将作为井漏控制材料应用于石油和天然气行业，并用于制造水力压裂活动的支撑剂。类似地，它可以用作吸附剂，并在瓷砖、纸张、油漆、玻璃纤维和明矾原料方面具有潜在的应用。高岭土也将适合作为纳米材料。该产出表明，尼日利亚的工业发展增加了当地内容。

Characterization of Amuda-Isuochi Nigerian Clay Deposit for Potential Industrial Applications

The aim of the work was to characterize the clay from Amuda-Isuochi, Abia state Nigeria. Preliminary research works on the area is scanty. The characterization involved chemical and elemental analyses, X-ray diffraction, specific surface area analysis, thermal analyses (TGA, DTA) and particle size distribution. The results showed that the clay is kaolin. Specific surface area of 251m2/g was observed, with average particle size of 84.67d.nm and polydispersity index of 0.203. The sample will find applications in oil and gas industry as lost circulation control material and for manufacture of proppants for hydraulic fracturing activities. Similarly, it can be used as an adsorbent and has potential applications for ceramic tile, paper, paints, fibre glass and starting material for alum. The kaolin clay will also be suitable as a nano-material. The output indicates an addition to local contents for Nigeria’s industrial development.

期刊介绍： "International Journal of Engineering Research in Africa" is a peer-reviewed journal which is devoted to the publication of original scientific articles on research and development of engineering systems carried out in Africa and worldwide. We publish stand-alone papers by individual authors. The articles should be related to theoretical research or be based on practical study. Articles which are not from Africa should have the potential of contributing to its progress and development.
