Abstract The Danish Tertiary Holmehus clay belongs to the series of illite–smectite mixed-
layer clays in northern Europe and has a potential to serve as an effective engineered …

The stability of smectite-rich clay minerals is of interest because they could be candidates for
engineered barriers for high-level radioactive waste repositories. This research …

Bentonites are suitable candidates as buffer and backfill materials in HLW-repositories. A
target of this research is to define the mineralogical alteration of bentonite caused by its …

The knowledge of adsorption characteristics of bentonite (B) is mandatory for heavy metals
removal from the wastewater and contaminant retention in landfill liner. Adsorption …

Because of their isolating capacity, smectite-rich clays have been proposed as buffer and
backfill materials in high-level radioactive waste repositories. These repositories have to …
