The use of montmorillonite in the context of engineered barriers makes it possible to
minimize the spread of heavy metals from industrial and even radioactive waste. An …

Clay minerals are considered as a promising material in the context of geological barrier for
the confinement of radioactive and industrial waste. Understanding the usefulness of the …

The employment of clay minerals in the transport of water, nutrients, and contaminants
depends on a few factors, including permeability, hydration behavior, ion-exchange …

This work reports characterization of the possible effects that might distress the hydration
properties of Mg‐exchanged low‐charge montmorillonite (SWy‐2) when it undergoes …

Ion-exchange modeling is used widely to describe and predict ion-adsorption data on clay
minerals. Although the model parameters are usually optimized by curve fitting experimental …
