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 …

Extensive research conducted over the past several decades has indicated that
semipermeable membrane behavior (ie, the ability of a porous medium to restrict the …

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

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

Traditional (non-treated) sodium bentonite has been shown to exhibit substantial
semipermeable membrane behavior, or the ability to restrict the migration of solutes …

Slag, as a kind of industrial by-product, is a recognized substitute for cement to reduce
carbon emissions and costs in engineering construction. This paper compares the …

Bentonite-sand mixtures are widely used in engineering barrier of deep geological disposal
of high-level radioactive nuclear waste and anti-seepage barrier of civil geotechnical …

The containment function of clay barriers used for waste containment applications (eg,
landfills) can be enhanced if such clays exhibit membrane behavior or the ability to restrict …

Semi-permeable membrane behavior contributes to the containment function of engineered
barriers used for waste containment by restricting the migration of dissolved chemical …

The potential for chemical incompatibility between soil-bentonite (SB) backfills of vertical
cutoff walls composed of conventional (chemically unmodified) sodium bentonite (CSB) and …
