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 …

Membrane behavior in clays is a coupled phenomenon that results in solute restriction and
chemico-osmosis. Thus, the containment function of engineered clay-based barriers used …

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

The consolidation behavior and hydraulic conductivity (k) of nine backfill mixtures modeling
those used for soil-bentonite (SB) vertical cutoff walls are evaluated. The backfills include …

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

The performance of landfill liners can be enhanced if they exhibit a semipermeable
membrane behavior, which restricts the migration of contaminants. Consequently …

The effect of zeolite amendment for enhanced sorption capacity on the consolidation
behavior and hydraulic conductivity, k, of a representative soil-bentonite (SB) backfill for …

The diffusion and semi-permeable membrane behavior are significant for evaluating
pollution containment effectiveness of soil-bentonite slurry trench wall backfill (referred to as …

Soil-bentonite slurry-trench cutoff walls using backfill consisting on-site sandy or silty soil
and bentonite are extensively used as engineered barriers for the containment of …

Bentonites are clay soils characterised by a high specific surface and a permanent negative
electric charge on their solid skeleton. Their common use as hydraulic and contaminant …
