Liners are provided under engineering landfill sites to block the downflow of leachates and
their noxious components to minimize pollution in the underlying aquifers or neighboring …

This review describes advances in the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) group of techniques
published approximately between April 2014 and March 2015 and is therefore restricted to a …

The diffusion and semi-permeable membrane behavior are significant for evaluating
pollution containment effectiveness of soil-bentonite slurry trench wall backfill (referred to as …

Soil-bentonite (SB) barriers have been widely used for heavy metal pollution containment.
This study conducted batch adsorption tests and diffusion-through tests to evaluate how …

Semi-permeable membrane behavior contributes to the containment function of engineered
barriers used for waste containment by restricting the migration of dissolved chemical …

Lysimeters are always utilized to simulate the landfill environmental conditions due to their
relatively low expense and the short duration of the research. However, lysimeters tend to be …

The persistence of membrane behaviour of compacted bentonite barriers under thermo-
chemical conditions is of significance for their containment performance in high-level …

A natural sodium bentonite was tested in the laboratory to measure its reflection coefficient,
ω, in equilibrium with mixed aqueous solutions of sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium …

As a by‐product from the incineration of municipal solid waste, bottom ash has a broad
application prospect of resource utilization. In this study, bottom ash was selected as partial …

Significant research conducted over the last 20 years has shown that engineered clay
barriers for chemical containment applications can behave as semipermeable membranes …
