Testing bentonite for swellability gives an idea of the maximum potential increase in volume (the factor by which volume increases) of montmorillonite clay over a certain period, which is usually 18–24 h. However, testing bentonite clays for swellability does not provide enough information on their properties for specific production …

A controlled re-saturation of a heated 50 cm long column made of MX-80 bentonite pellets in the CIEMAT laboratory facilities (Madrid, Spain) has been running for 10 years (2011-2021).

Abstract. An approach is proposed for simulating the coupled processes of swelling and mechanical erosion of compacted MX-80 bentonites. The loss of mass at the water–soil interface is described by means of a simplified erosion model, assuming the "instantaneous" activation of erosion. A double-porosity formulation was adopted based …

Swelling indicator: specific test is necessary. 2 g of bentonite is strewn over 100 ml of demineralised water and 100 ml of wine in a graduated test tube cylinder. After 24 hours, weigh the volume of bentonite. ... A de-proteinising bentonite should eliminate at least 50% of the proteins in a synthetic solution with a 0.4 g/l dose. 3.18.

Abstract. To estimate the cesium sorption by the bentonite and to obtain the isotherms, some batch-adsorption experiments are being carried out, being the Kd (retardation coefficient) calculated from these isotherms. One-dimensional flow cell was constructed to measure the bentonite permeability regarding to a cesium solution, …
