The state-of-the-art for barriers systems control of pollution migration and hydraulic
structures including liner systems for landfills, mine waste, and dams/lagoons are discussed …

A review of the literature was undertaken primarily with the goal of discerning the types of
diffusion coefficients that have been reported with respect to diffusion of radionuclides …

The hydrogeochemical transport model PHREEQC was extended with options to calculate
multicomponent diffusion in free pores and in the diffuse double layer (DDL). Each solute …

The constitutive coupled equations describing ionic transport in a porous shale are obtained
at the scale of a representative elementary volume by volume averaging the local Nernst …

Diffusion of contaminants can play a significant if not dominant role in many applications
encountered within the field of environmental geotechnics. The objective of this paper is to …

The sensitivity of sodium bentonite (Na-B) to adverse chemical interactions has spurred
development of enhanced bentonites (EBs) for geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) that provide …

This paper presents a laboratory experimental investigation on the membrane behavior and
diffusion properties of sand/sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP)-amended bentonite …

Flux equations for liquid and solute migration through clay barriers that behave as semi-
permeable membranes used in waste containment and remediation applications, known as …

The results of a project aimed at identifying performance-based indicators that can be used
by landfill operators to check the suitability of GCLs for bottom barrier applications are …

Flexible-wall permeability tests and rigid-wall consolidation/permeability tests were
performed to evaluate the hydraulic conductivity and compressibility of a model soil …
