Estimation of water retention behaviour of MX-80 bentonite partially saturated with saline solution

The water retention behaviour of partially saturated MX-80 bentonite with pure water is relatively well investigated. However, in practical cases, the water contains a number of chemical compounds which affects the bentonite behaviour. In particular, bentonite is used in buffer applications of geolo...
