| English abstract | The aim of this work is to characterize physically and mineralogically six samples of natural and industrialized bentonites from Paraíba, Brazil, and to study its rheological properties to be used as a components of water based drilling fluids. Also it is intended to compare the evolution of the mineralogical composition and rheology of these clays after 40 years of exploitation. The natural bentonite clays were transformed into sodium bentonite by addition of concentrated Na2CO3 solution. The suspensions were prepared with 4.86% w/w to measure their rheological properties (apparent and plastic viscosities and water loss). The results showed that: i) the samples present typical mineralogical compositions of bentonites, but after four decades of exploitation, presents inferior quality and ii) among the clays samples, only one presented satisfactory rheological properties be used as a components of water based drilling fluids |
