Abstract

A number of thermodynamic properties were obtained from the determination of adsorption isotherms and enthalpies of immersion for systems with water and Na- and Ca-bentonites. Entropy differences were calculated by combining the enthalpies of immersion and the changes in free energy derived from the adsorption isotherms. The swelling pressures, also calculated from the water adsorption isotherms, are in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data.
