I have trouble understanding Bentonite needing to be "recharged" I
believe it's a form of clay that is relatively conductive?. Isn't
Bentonite also the material where you drill holes in concrete, pour in
dry Bentonite, add water and it slowly expands to break the concrete?

Yes, but -- it's my understanding that bentonite and similar materials
must be recharged periodically to be effective.
