The present paper discusses the hydro mechanical behavior of activated Ca–bentonite
mixed with two soluble polyelectrolyte powder polymers. To understand better the clay …

This work discusses fluidity of highly concentrated kaolin suspensions prepared by filtration
technique in the presence of a dispersant (sodium salt of polyacrylic acid). Two types of …

This study investigated the rheological properties of concentrated suspensions of allophane,
halloysite, and kaolinite, which are representative of a series of weathering products of …

The solid waste decomposition inside a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill may be
enhanced by liquid addition in order to reach landfill stabilization in a reduced period of time …

Geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) are used in landfill liner applications due primarily to their
low hydraulic conductivity to water. The low hydraulic conductivity of GCLs comes from the …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: In landfills, containment is provided by natural or
artificial clayey materials known for their low permeability and for their pollutant retention …

TEVP (thixotropic elasto viscoplastic) fluids exhibit phenomenon such as shear thinning,
yield stress, viscoelasticity and thixotropy. A filled polymer melt system consisting of LDPE …

Geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) are used in landfill liner applications and there is a need for
a better control of the properties of the bentonite in the GCL received on site, particularly in …

In the landfill bottom liners design process, geotechnical tests of long duration time are often
conducted to ensure the presence of reactive clays and to assess their hydromechanical …

The objective of this Keynote Lecture is to give an updated overview of transfer properties of
geosynthetic liner materials used in landfills and of parameters that impact them. Some …
