In this study, batch adsorption experiments were investigated to remove the radioactive
isotope Cs-137 from the real radioactive wastewater resulting from the 1990 Gulf War. The …

The earliest method of waste disposal is dumping waste in landfills. The important
component of landfills which prevents the passage of leachate to the subsoil is defined as …

In the context of a project for the study of the behaviour of the clay barrier in a nuclear waste
repository, the swelling properties of compacted bentonite have been investigated. Results …

Batch adsorption treatment using Iraqi bentonite as a natural adsorbent was adopted in this
study to decontaminate actual 137Cs radioactive wastewater from the Al-Tuwaitha Nuclear …

Data are reported on the shrinkage and desiccation cracking exhibited by bentonite-
enhanced sand mixtures (BES) upon air-drying. Mixtures containing 10 and 20% bentonite …

Soil classification systems worldwide capture great physical insight and enable geotechnical
engineers to anticipate the properties and behavior of soils by grouping them into similar …

A mechanistic model is developed to predict the swelling pressure of fully saturated,
bentonite-based materials in distilled water or dilute saline solutions over a large range of …

The swelling behaviour and hydraulic conductivity of Na-bentonite powder and bentonite-
sand mixtures (10 and 20% of bentonite by dry weight) have been measured with distilled …

Based on the concept that the maximum water volume absorbed by montmorillonite per unit
volume is constant, the swelling deformation of sand–bentonite mixtures was characterized …

Soil–bentonite slurry-trench cutoff walls using backfill consisting of on-site sandy soil and Na-
bentonite are extensively used as engineering barriers for the purpose of achieving …
