Argillaceous formations generally act as aquitards because of their low hydraulic
conductivities. This property, together with the large retention capacity of clays for cationic …

Nanoporous media consist of homogeneous or heterogeneous porous material in which a
significant part of the pore size distribution lies in the nanometer range. Clayey rocks …

Diffusion experiments with HTO, 36Cl−, Br−, I−, 22Na+, 85Sr2+ and 134Cs+ at trace
concentrations in a single sample of Opalinus Clay are modeled with PHREEQC's …

The present paper provides an overview of key coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM)
processes in clay formations that would result from the development of a high-level …

The diffusive flux of cations is enhanced and that of anions is decreased compared to that of
water tracers in bentonite or other clays, as a result of electrostatic interactions between ions …

Repurposing groundwater-filled mine cavities for thermal energy storage has demonstrated
promising potential to buffer the imbalance of energy supply and demand. Fractured …

The U (VI) sorption onto Opalinus Clay (OPA), a natural clay rock from Mont Terri,
Switzerland, was investigated in the absence and presence of humic acid under aerobic …

Diffusion of cations and other contaminants through clays is of central interest, because
clays and clay rocks are widely considered as barrier materials for waste disposal sites. An …

The mineralogical and chemical properties of clays have been the subject of longstanding
study in the research community—in fact, entire journals are devoted to the topic. In the field …

Understanding ion transport through clays and clay membranes is important for many
geochemical and environmental applications. Ion transport is affected by electrostatic forces …
