Thermodiffusional transport in pelagic clay: implications for nuclear waste disposal in geological media
Journal Article
·
· Science (Washington, D.C.); (United States)
Thermal gradient experiments in sediment-seawater systems revealed large-scale fluxes of aqueous electrolytic components away from the heat source through thermal diffusion. These findings indicate a need for similar studies in other geological materials of low permeability in order to assess the implications of this phenomenon for various nuclear waste disposal options.
