Abstract

The influence of pressure on the conductance of frozen montmorillonite suspensions was measured in the temperature range from 0°C to − 12°C on Na- and Ca-saturated samples. Pressures invariably increase the conductance of frozen suspensions. The change in conductance with pressure is postulated to be due to pressure melting of the ice in the frozen suspension. From swelling pressure data the increase in unfrozen water with pressure at constant temperature is calculated and shown to be consistent with the effect of pressure on conductance.
