ELECTROOSMOTIC DEWATERING OF BENTONITE IN THIN BEDS
Bentonite beds, initially 0.5-2.0 cm in height, were dewatered by electroosmosis with a constant current of 90 mA. The fraction of the initial water removed increased most rapidly for the thinnest bed, in contrast to results with constant voltage dewatering. To realize the full potential of thin beds for fast dewatering. constant current should be used
