METHOD OF USING IMPROVED BENTONITE BARRIER COMPOSITIONS AND RELATED GEOSYNTHETIC CLAY LINERS

摘要

The present invention relates to improved bentonite barrier compositions having enhanced low permeability over time in containment applications. Of the many embodiments provided herein, one embodiment includes a method comprising: providing a bentonite barrier composition comprising: bentonite; and a polyanionic low molecular weight polymer; and forming a containment using the bentonite barrier composition to provide at least partial separation for a containment from its environment.
