The migration of hazardous substances in a bentonite barrier layer is a key issue for the safety of nuclear waste storage. This study develops a thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling model to simulate the contaminant migration in a bentonite barrier layer of the nuclear waste storage chamber. In particular, the Richard’s equation is used to describe the groundwater flow in the bentonite barrier layer with variable saturation. Thermal diffusion and concentration diffusion are coupled with the layer deformation and fluid flow. The migration rate and diffusion range of hazardous substances in the bentonite barrier layer are numerically simulated. These numerical simulations show that the heat release from nuclear waste can induce a temperature gradient and deformation, and thus significantly affects both transfer rate and concentration distribution of dilute substances. These multi-physical couplings under different initial saturation may significantly modify the sealing efficiency of an unsaturated bentonite barrier layer and thus this model is of great significance in the safety evaluation of a nuclear waste disposal repository.

The article analyses the ecological state of the soil in an enterprise with a galvanic shop that produces chips and microcircuits. The problem of production waste storage in open areas is investigated. Environmental hazards during long-term storage of sludge have been identified. The composition of the sludge obtained after sewage treatment of the production of the copper line was investigated. A method for predicting the level and depth of soil salinity during long-term sludge storage is proposed. The experience of reuse of copper extracted from sludge is analysed.
