Polymer Elution and Hydraulic Conductivity of Bentonite
Bentonite–polymer composites (BPCs) composed of polymer intercalated in the montmorillonite interlayer or dry blended withbentonitehave maintained lowhydraulicconductivity (< 10 − 10 m / s) in solutions having high ionic strength, a preponderance of polyvalent cations, and extreme pH (Onikata et al. 1996, 1999; Kolstad et al. 2004b; Katsumi et al. 2008; Scalia et al. 2014; Tian and Benson 2014; Tian …
