GMZ bentonite deposit which is located in Xinghe County,Inner Mongolia has been proposed as buffer/backfill material for HLW repository in China. Liquid limit of natural Na-bentonite GMZ01 and commercial Na-bentonite MX80 which were previously put in the oven at 80℃and 95℃,and exposed to water for different times were measured.The liquid limit of GMZ01 increased slightly at the beginning, and then decreased as the heating time increased.展开更多
