Abstract

In order to study the influence of thermal irradiation (γ) synchronously aging on the properties of bentonite, the Gaomiaozi(GMZ)-modified sodium bentonite was investigated by heating (90 °C) and irradiating(dose rates 85, 170, 610 Gy/h; cumulative doses 0.28, 0.37, 0.74 MGy). The results of thermal analysis and XRD showed that the influence of heating and irradiating on the thermal properties, phase components, and structures of the GMZ-modified sodium bentonite is no obvious, the γ-ray cumulative dose effects and dose rate effects are generally weak.
