Abstract
Bentonite beds, initially 0.5-2.0 cm in height, were dewatered by elec troosmosis with a constant current of 90 mA. The fraction of the initi al water removed increased most rapidly for the thinnest bed, in contr ast to results with constant voltage dewatering. To realize the full p otential of thin beds for fast dewatering. constant current should be used
