This paper reviews the state-of-the-art for the measurement in the laboratory of diffusion
coefficients of chemical waste constituents in fine-grained soils. The purpose of the review is …

The state-of-the-art for barriers systems control of pollution migration and hydraulic
structures including liner systems for landfills, mine waste, and dams/lagoons are discussed …

The protection of groundwater and surface water from contamination by the escape of
contaminant from waste disposal is now an important consideration in many countries of the …

The effective diffusion coefficients, D*, of three anions (Br-, Cl-, and I-) three cations Cd 2+,
K+, and Zn 2+ diffusing in two compacted clay soils, kaolinite and Lufkin clay, are measured …

Covers installed over waste disposal sites are used to control water and gas exchanges with
the surrounding environment. One example involves covers built to limit oxygen flux to …

The physico-chemical processes of advection, dispersion, adsorption, and degradation that
control pollutant transport processes in groundwater are described. Dimensional analysis is …

The durability of landfill mainly relies on the anti-seepage characteristic of liner system. The
accumulation of microbial biomass is effective in reducing the hydraulic conductivity of soils …

Contaminated sediments can pose long-term risks to human beings and ecosystems as they
accumulate inorganic and organic contaminants becoming a sink and source of pollution …

Geosynthetics are widely used in waste containment facilities, as these facilities have used
literally all types of geosynthetics in all identified functions (eg, filtration, reinforcement, etc.) …
