Polymer-amended bentonite is a kind of high-performance bentonite material, which has
been widely researched and applied in barrier engineering. This paper summarizes the …

Understanding the mechanisms that control the hydraulic and semipermeable membrane
behavior of enhanced bentonites (EBs), which comprise natural montmorillonite amended …

The behaviour of geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) as part of a physical-environmental system
is examined. Consideration is given to:(a) both the physical and hydraulic interactions with …

This article presents a study on cadmium, copper and lead removal by means of adsorption
in a natural Na-bentonite. Influence of pH and ionic strength on clay fabric and its role on …

The ability of geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) to contain acidic mining leachates is examined.
The results of saturated hydraulic conductivity (k) of two GCLs permeated with sulfuric acid …

This study aims to investigate workability and microstructural characteristics of sodium
hexametaphosphate (SHMP)-treated calcium bentonite (Ca-bentonite) as a potential …

Contaminant retention characteristics of clay-based composites as affected by pH needs to
be quantified for its design, functionality, and performance as a landfill liner material. The …

Modified bentonite (MB) was prepared with acrylic acid and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose
as monomers, which was characterized with carboxyl and hydroxyl groups on a coverage …

This study aimed at assessing containment properties of slurry wall backfill containing
sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) modified calcium bentonite to contaminated …

Bentonite based geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) are commonly used as chemical
containment barriers to minimize liquid flow and contaminant transport. The preference for …
