test frequency and prior site specific test results indicate compliance with statistical acceptance limits imposed for the project (typically an allowance of 2.5% of product delivered- MARV). Note. Bentonite Fluid Loss may be artificially lowered by introducing a polymer into the bentonite at time of manufacture of the geosynthetic clay liner.
Summary. Problems with bentonite quality and bentonite-quality-control methods have consistently been observed in the field in recent years. These problems are investigated and proposals are made on how to mitigate them. A number of commercial bentonites have been analyzed and their performances evaluated (1) to determine to …

Bentonite 3, instead, was characterised by a markedly different value of SWI, 10 points higher than the other ones. Pertaining to LL, the test campaign to assess the liquid limits highlighted very high values, over 400% for all bentonites. Specifically, bentonite 2 exhibited the highest value while the lowest value was for bentonite 1. 7.
