 Absorber disks for absorbing low level active liquid nuclear waste
Absorbent blocks have been developed and are manufactured by Smith Engineering (GB) Ltd.

Recess holds viscous liquid until absorbed into block allowing a layered approach to stacking within a 550mm diameter drum (10 per 200L drum).
 
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.
