In Situ Measurements of the Hydration Behavior of Compacted Milos (SD80) Bentonite by Wet-Cell X-ray Diffraction in an Opalinus Clay Pore Water and a Diluted Cap Rock Brine

In Situ Measurements of the Hydration Behavior of Compacted Milos (SD80) Bentonite by Wet-Cell X-ray Diffraction in an Opalinus Clay Pore Water and a Diluted Cap Rock Brine

Compacted bentonite is currently being considered as a suitable backfill material for sealing underground repositories for radioactive waste as part of a multi-barrier concept. Although showing favorable properties for this purpose (swelling capability, low permeability, and high adsorption capacity...
