Extensive mining, massive urban waste landfills, nuclear accidents and urban runoff
discharge huge volume of special wastewater streams to the water bodies. Appropriate …

This study evaluated the efficacy of enzyme induced calcite precipitation (EICP) in restricting
the mobility of heavy metals in soils. EICP is an environmentally friendly method that has …

Coal gangue is one of the largest industrial solid waste all over the world, and many
methods have been proposed for the recycling of coal gangue. In the present study, the …

The effect of zeolite amendment for enhanced sorption capacity on the consolidation
behavior and hydraulic conductivity, k, of a representative soil-bentonite (SB) backfill for …

This paper reports the findings of experimental studies on two natural zeolitic soils.
Engineering properties (eg, grain size, specific gravity, compressibility, hydraulic …

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 …

An extensive literature review has been conducted to observe the statistical correlation of
the plasticity index, PI, with the liquid limit, LL, of smectite and kaolinite. Fifty-nine data for …

Hydraulic conductivity tests were conducted using tap water on zeolite–bentonite mixtures
(ZBMs), sand–bentonite mixtures (SBMs), and a zeolite–sand–bentonite mixture (ZSBM) at …

A sand–Na–bentonite mixture is widely used as engineering barrier material, which usually
possesses hydraulic conductivity below the regulatory limit (10− 7 cm/s). However, in some …

The containment function of soil-bentonite (SB) cutoff walls can be enhanced when the
adsorption capacity of the SB backfill for targeted contaminants is increased. In this regard …
