Abstract

The final distribution of the CaO within Ca-treated clays was determined many years after the original treatment, i.e., when the soil-CaO reaction was completed, along with a study of evolution of the corresponding pH. The results reveal that the value of pH accepted in the literature as an indication of the end of the reaction, may not be the actual case.
