Transport properties of the Callovo-Oxfordian clay rock under partially saturated conditions

Preferred Orientations and Anisotropy in Shales: Callovo-oxfordian Shale (france) and Opalinus Clay (switzerland)

Anisotropy in clay-rich sedimentary rocks is receiving increasing attention. Seismic anisotropy is essential in the prospecting for petroleum deposits. Anisotropy of diffusion has become relevant for environmental contaminants, including nuclear waste. In both cases, the orientation of component minerals is a critical ingredient and, largely because of small grain size and poor crystallinity, t...

Oedometric compression and swelling behaviour of the Callovo-Oxfordian argillite

The Callovo-Oxfordian (COx) argillite is a possible host rock for radioactive waste disposal in which the ANDRA underground laboratory of Bure (East of France) has been excavated. In this paper some aspects of the volume change behaviour of the COx argillite are investigated. To do so, high pressure oedometers with a maximum capacity of 113 MPa have been used. In a first stage, swelling tests w...

Investigating the Swelling Pressure of 1 Compacted Crushed - Callovo - Oxfordian Claystone

Differences in properties and Cm(III) complexation behavior of isolated humic and fulvic acid derived from Opalinus clay and Callovo-Oxfordian argillite

Fulvic acids from deep clay formations have been isolated by the International Humic Substances Society (IHSS) standard protocol and analyzed. Near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy reveals, that the basic structural features relating to the origin of the clay organic matter (i.e., terrestrial or marine) are preserved even after the around 150 Ma since deposition (Juras...

control of the optical properties of nanoparticles by laser fields

در این پایان نامه، درهمتنیدگی بین یک سیستم نقطه کوانتومی دوگانه(مولکول نقطه کوانتومی) و میدان مورد مطالعه قرار گرفته است. از آنتروپی ون نیومن به عنوان ابزاری برای بررسی درهمتنیدگی بین اتم و میدان استفاده شده و تاثیر پارامترهای مختلف، نظیر تونل زنی(که توسط تغییر ولتاژ ایجاد می شود)، شدت میدان و نسبت دو گسیل خودبخودی بر رفتار درجه درهمتنیدگی سیستم بررسی شده اشت.با تغییر هر یک از این پارامترها، در...
