The Effect of Soybeans Hull (Glycine Max), Beans Pod (Phaseolus Vulgaris) and Dry Willow Leaf (Salix Spp) on the Properties of aSimple Water -Based Mud

Abstract

This study is aimed at investigating the effects of varying concentration temperature and aging time on the property of a water-based mud treated with agrowaste materials, (soybean hull, beans pod and dry willow leaf with CMC used as control. From the result, it was observed that the mud samples containing soybeans have the highest plastic viscosity with those with dry willow leaf the highest yield point. The effect of aging on the mud sample shows the plastic viscosity of each of the mud sample decreased with soybeans having the highest plastic viscosity. While the yield point and gel strength at 10 minutes and 10 seconds increased respectively with dry willow leaf having the highest yield point. The result of the fluid loss shows the mud samples treated with dry willow exhibiting the closet linear relationship with sample treated with CMC at room temperature, but as temperature increased samples with beans pod exhibited the closet linear relationship with that of the control.
