Abstract: The hazardous waste leachates from landfills and tailing disposal facilities pose a severe threat to environmental ecosystems if they infiltrate through the barrier component. Bentonite and its amendments are frequently ...

Abstract: Compacted sand-bentonite mixtures have been treated as a good substitute for the barrier material at the landfill. At low stress, desiccation-induced moisture variations may cause a reduction in the plastic deformability ...

Abstract: The present research investigated the impact of heavy metals such as lead (Pb2+), copper (Cu2+), and zinc (Zn2+) on different bentonite’s characterization. Two types of bentonites, possessing a difference in physiognomies, ...

Abstract: In landfills, properties of the liner become affected due to the presence of harmful chemicals that, in turn, reduce its efficiency. In this study, two bentonites having different chemical and mineralogical compositions ...
