Thermodynamic and fully-coupled reactive transport models of a steel–bentonite interface
TL;DR: In this paper, a thermodynamic model of iron-rich clay minerals is presented which suggests that the activities of major ions, especially Fe 2+, Fe 3+ and Al 3+, H + and SiO 2(aq), act as key controls on the relative stabilities of ironrich clays.

TL;DR: In this article, a laboratory experiment investigating the effects of cementitious water diffusing through bentonite has been simulated using a coupled reactive-transport geochemical modelling code, which was carried out before the results of the experiments were available, as an exercise in 'blind' modelling.

TL;DR: The Long-term Cement Studies (LCS) project as discussed by the authors was formulated with an emphasis on in situ field experiments with more realistic boundary conditions and longer time scales compared with former experiments, and a modelling inter-comparison has been conducted, involving the modelling of two experiments describing cement hydration on one hand and cement-rock reaction on the other.

The Tournemire industrial analogue: reactive-transport modelling of a cement–clay interface
TL;DR: In this paper, a reactive-transport model of the Tournemire system has been set up using the general-purpose modelling tool QPAC, which is built upon previous modelling work by using the most up-to-date data and modelling techniques, and by adding both ion exchange and surface complexation processes in the mudstone.
