For instance (Horseman et al., 1999), for a fully water-saturated bentonite of initial 1.6 g cm − 3 dry density, the expected swelling pressure is 7 MPa. When such bentonite is subjected to 5 MPa interstitial water pressure, which corresponds in situ to 500 m depth

Interception of sedimentary phosphorus release by iron
From Fig. 5b, it was observed that RCA capping had no negative impact on the concentration levels of Fe 2+ in the overlying water and the interstitial water of the top 5 mm sediment but had a certain effect of interstitial water in the lower sediment, while FMCA capping greatly decreased the concentration level of Fe 2+ in the overlying water ...
Factors Influencing Mass Diffusion in Bentonite and …
A model, based on the relative volumes of surface and interstitial water in soil, has been developed to study the effective mass diffusion coefficient in bentonite and mixtures of bentonite and sand. The results show that, when the surface water layer is fully developed to a thickness of 0.25 nm, the theoretical effective mass diffusion coefficient decreases with increasing dry …

At a barite concentration high enough to obtain approximately random close packing, we expect much of the applied stress to be taken by the barite matrix. The interstitial …
Bentonite swelling into a void under suction or water flow
The capacity of bentonite to seal voids has been known for long, and thus, compressed sodium bentonite has been proposed for example as a wellbore-sealing agent in the oil and gas industry, and the plug placement, hydration and integrity have been demonstrated in the field and laboratory environments (e.g. [4, 11, 25, 26]).This swelling and filling capacity was …
