Assessment of the influence of copper and zinc on the microstructural parameters and hydraulic conductivity of bentonites on the basis of SEM tests

The aim of this study was to determine the influence of potentially toxic metals, such as Cu2+ and Zn2+ ions, on the microstructural parameters of bentonites and their hydraulic conductivity (K), calculated based on the empirical formulas for clays according to Hazen-Tkaczukowa (formula 1 based on g...
