Research of stability and modification of sealing barriers based on clay minerals under thermal and biological stress

The proposed research, which has the submitted project and your essence is presented in this document, focusing on the issue of landfills and waste repositories, matter generates thermal energy. The presented project has no problem with a destructive impact affecting thermal and biological activity and offers a research solution that should be possible to protect the environment from other to devastating accidents in the future. Other identified substances or substances that physically or chemically inhibit endangered bacterial consortia and / or promote damage to the geomechanical and hydrodynamic properties of the studied sealing materials. Microbial processes in bentonite and modified bentonite will be simulated in shorter experiments.

This project is funded with state support from the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic and the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic under the TREND Programme.
