Authigenic Clay Minerals from Interface Reactions of Concrete-Clay Engineered Barriers: A New Perspective on Mg-Clays Formation in Alkaline Environments

Authigenic Clay Minerals from Interface Reactions of Concrete-Clay Engineered Barriers: A New Perspective on Mg-Clays Formation in Alkaline Environments

Artificial and singular geochemical environments are created around the engineered barrier systems (EBS) designed to isolate high level nuclear wastes in deep geological repositories. A concrete-bentonite interface takes place within the EBS and it builds a significant chemical gradient (pH), approx...
