What`s the role of geomembrane in a landfill?
Geomembrane is a very low permeability synthetic membrane liner or barrier used with any geotechnical engineering-related material so on control fluid (or gas) migration in a human-made project, structure, or system. Geomembranes are often included as part of the engineered barrier system for modern landfills (Rowe, 2001). As defined in ASTM D4439-00, a geomembrane is ‘‘an ...

Mobilization assessment and possibility of increased availability of PAHs in contaminated soil using column tests
Surfactants are well known to increase solubility/mobility of hydrocarbons and can be used to remediate contaminated water and soil. We wanted to explore if Ivey sol R 106 used at less than the critical micelle concentration (CMC) could effectively mobilize PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) from contaminated soil. The first step was to establish a measurement technique. Hence, a column ...

International Tire Recycling Spotlight: Venezuela
Tire recycling is a serious global concern. Scrap tires take up far too much space, they can spawn devastating tire fires that burn for weeks or even months when stored together in large numbers, and they they leach chemicals into soil and groundwater. Recycling is an absolute necessity, but not easily done. Most developed countries have produced millions of scrap tires (at the very least), and ...

Modelling of the impact of future climate changes on salt accumulation in paddocks of different soil types due to recycled water irrigation
Recycled water contains elevated amounts of salt compared with irrigation water originating from surface water sources. As such, recycled water, if used for irrigation over a long period of time may increase the root zone salinity. However, the phenomenon depends on variability of climatic condition and soil characteristics. In this study, a salt transport model, HYDRUS 1D, was used to ...
