Abstract

The partial and apparent molal volumes of K-bentonite in pure water and in 0·5 M KCl were determined using pycnometer density data. The values obtained were found to increase with particle concentration. Theoretical values of the electrostatic contribution to the volume of particles calculated from an assumed model based on the electric double layer theory, gave values different from those found experimentally. This is explained as due largely to the uncertainties in the value of the clay specific surface area as well as to the assumed ideality of the model used.
