Discretization of the Water Uptake Process of Na-Montmorillonite Undergoing Atmospheric Stress: XRD Modeling Approach by Walid Oueslati, Mahdi Meftah

“…This work focuses on the water-montmorillonite interaction under variable atmospheric conditions in order to characterize the interlamellar space (IS) configuration for possible use in the context of geological barrier for radioactive and industrial waste confinement. Atmospheric stress is achieved by applying, for Na-rich montmorillonite, a water sorption/desorption constraint, created at the laboratory scale. …”
