Résumé :
|
This paper presents an application of a coupled thermo/hydro/chemical/mechanical model via simulation of a laboratory experiment in order to investigate the transport behavior of ions in bentonite pore water. Chemical reactions considered include ion exchange reactions involving major cations ( Na+ , K+ , Mg2+ , and Ca2+ ) and precipitation-dissolution of trace minerals (calcite, dolomite, anhydrite, and halite). The following conclusions are drawn based on the numerical results. The development of both the temperature and moisture fields was captured by simulation, and a good correlation with the experimental water uptake results was observed. For all ions, the model showed a good qualitative and reasonable quantitative agreement with the experimental results.
