Expansive soils, also known as swell-shrink soils, are one of the most problematic soils in
highway construction and exhibit significant volume changes by swelling and shrinking …

Landfill sealing technologies comprise low hydraulic conductivity engineered layers as part
of covers and bottom liners, for which clays and geosynthetic materials are conventionally …

Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash has become a challenge for waste
management because it is rich in heavy metals and its output is increasing sharply year by …

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 article presents a study on cadmium, copper and lead removal by means of adsorption
in a natural Na-bentonite. Influence of pH and ionic strength on clay fabric and its role on …

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a toxic endocrine disruptor often found in landfill leachate. Adsorption
behaviors and mechanisms of BPA onto organo-bentonites amended loess, eg …

The paper presents an experimental study on the compressibility, conductivity hydraulic (k

This study aims to research the feasibility of using shale and clay mixtures as an improved
landfill liner material. Relevant laboratory tests were performed to examine basic …

Sepiolite is a fibrous clay mineral, which is mostly associated with a semi-arid to arid climate,
with characteristics intermediate between kaolinite and montmorillonite minerals. An …

Crude oil and petroleum products contain various types of sulfur compounds: aliphatic and
aromatic mercaptans, hydrogen sulfide, sulfides, disulfides, thiophene derivatives, etc. Some …
