Resumen : | The quantification of colloid erosion from compacted bentonite barrier, in a high-level waste repository, is
considered especially relevant because erosion may compromise its performance and because eroded colloids
may contribute to radionuclide transport.
The erosion behaviour of different raw bentonites, compacted at high density, was analysed in a confined
system under favourable chemical conditions. A complete physical and geochemical characterisation of clays
was carried out to overall relate clay physico-chemical characteristics and structure to their erosion behaviour.
The mass eroded under compacted and confined conditions were in all cases lower than those obtained under
free-dispersed conditions; indicating that compacted and confined conditions were limiting erosion. Maximum
erosion was below a 1% of the initial mass.
Results clearly showed that clay erosion under compacted state was hindered for those bentonites with high
content of bivalent cations in exchangeable positions ((Ca + Na) > 90%), low smectite content (Sm. < 70 wt %) and high tetrahedral charge (|τ| > 0.1 e/h.u.c.). In addition, it was demonstrated that, at high solid to liquid
ratios, dissolution of salts present in the clay and cation exchange reactions decrease the extent of erosion. |
