| description abstract | Chrome tanneries generate large quantities of chromium-laden sludge that require proper disposal in engineered landfills to prevent contamination of subsurface soils and groundwater and reduce the risk to public health and the environment. This study investigates the feasibility of using a fine-grained soil as a suitable landfill liner material for the effective containment of chromium in the sludge leachate. Several series of laboratory permeability, adsorption, and column tests were conducted using soil without and with selected additives (rice husk, bentonite, and fly ash) to determine permeability and adsorption and transport of chromium in the soil. Permeability tests showed that the field soil amended with 17% rice husk and 2% bentonite provides the desired hydraulic conductivity of | |
