Abstract
It was demonstrated that the application of ultrasonic, hydroacoustic, and bifrequency cavitation for bentonite dispergation allows one to obtain finely dispersed suspensions, including those of submicron particles. It was found out how the particle dimensions depend on the amplitude of the oscillations, the duration of the treatment, and the static pressure. The results of electron microscopic examination of the suspensions were analyzed.
