This review discusses the recent trends in the research over the last 30 years to use clay
minerals in natural and modified forms for removing different toxic organic/inorganic …

Pore network models have been applied widely for simulating a variety of different physical
and chemical processes, including phase exchange, non-Newtonian displacement, non …

The hydrogeochemical transport model PHREEQC was extended with options to calculate
multicomponent diffusion in free pores and in the diffuse double layer (DDL). Each solute …

Many countries intend to use compacted bentonite as a barrier in their deep geological
repositories for nuclear waste. In order to describe and predict hydraulic conductivity or …

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 …

The accessible porosity for Cl− in bentonite is smaller than the the total porosity due to anion
repulsion (exclusion) by the surface of montmorillonite, the main mineral in bentonite. The …

Montmorillonite clay is an important component of barrier materials such as bentonites and
argillaceous rocks for the safe geological disposal of radioactive waste. The diffusion and …

Clay mineral-rich sedimentary formations are currently under investigation to evaluate their
potential use as host formations for installation of deep underground disposal facilities for …

Bentonite clay is proposed as buffer material in several concepts of High Level Radioactive
Waste repositories, and a correct description of ion diffusion in this material is of vital …

A mechanistic understanding of transport phenomena in compacted clays is essential for the
use of such materials as engineered barrier systems for the safe geological disposal of …
