THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY BEHAVIOR OF ZEOLITE-BENTONITE MIXTURES

Abstract

It is known that the engineering behavior of clayey soils is quite important compared to other soil types. It was observed in studies that shear strength, compressibility and many other parameters are generally negatively affected with the increase in the amount of clay. However, in addition, as the clay percentage increases, permeability decreases and therefore clay, especially "bentonite", is frequently used as a buffer material. In areas such as solid waste or nuclear waste storage areas where the temperature increases and a buffer material is needed to ensure the sealing of the waste, the thermal behavior of the buffer material to be used in the presence of high temperatures is of great importance. Currently, only bentonite (due to its high sealing properties) or sand-bentonite (due to the use of the effect of sand and bentonite in reducing the shrinkage amount) is used as a buffer material. In this study, it is aimed to test the use of zeolite-bentonite mixtures in the presence of temperature and to popularize them if suitable results are obtained. Within the scope of the study, thermal conductivity measurements of zeolite-bentonite mixtures formed using different bentonite ratios were carried out at room temperature and high temperature (55°C). The experimental results revealed how the bentonite ratio and temperature changed the thermal properties of the mixtures.
