METHOD OF SPRAY APPLICATION, AND SPRAY APPARATUS, FOR BENTONITE MATERIAL

摘要

The present invention provides a spray method and spray apparatus for bentonite-based material that allow forming a bentonite layer of high dry density. A spray apparatus 1 comprises a supersonic nozzle 2, to which a compressor 5 and a bentonite container 6 are connected. The supersonic nozzle 2 is fed compressed air from the compressor 5 and a bentonite-based material from the bentonite container 6. The compressed air, mixed with the bentonite-based material, is accelerated to supersonic speed when passing through a constriction portion 14 of the supersonic nozzle 2, and is sprayed at supersonic speed out of a jet orifice 11.
