Porewater Extraction from Argillaceous Rocks for Geochemical Characterisation Methods and Interpretations
The definition of the chemical and isotopic composition of the groundwater present in argillaceous formations, which are considered as potential host rocks for radioactive waste disposal, is crucial for establishing their barrier properties. Therefore, a critical review of the relevant literature on...
