The pH, moisture, organic matter content, loss on ignition and swelling power of matured and non-matured samples were measured for physicochemical characterization. The elemental concentration was determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis. Results showed that water adsorption capacity, organic matter and swelling power is related to the maturation time and no significant differences occurs in the elemental concentration except for Na.openAccessadsorptionbentoniteconcentration ratioelementsirradiationmaturationmineral springsmoistureneutron activation analysisneutron fluxorganic matterph valuesedimentsswellingTexto completo de eventohttps://orcid.org/0000-0002-9351-9201
