Cementitious Absorber blocks for
absorbing low level active liquid nuclear waste, before encapsulation.

Each block retains 3.2 liters of liquid
Very stable long term storage (500 years +)
Applications:

Liquid Storage
Absorbent blocks have been developed and are manufactured by Smith Engineering (GB) Ltd.
Mechanism:
When dry the block contains microscopic voids, each containing a dehydrated particle of bentonite. When liquid comes into contact with the block the bentonite absorbs the liquid and swells to fill the void. Once the liquid is absorbed by the bentonite it is in a stable state and will not leach out or leak.
