Interaction of diesel oil contaminants with laterite soil and bentonite treated by sawdust-landfill liner
Landfill liners blended with industrial by-product seems to outperform the conventional liners. This paper presents the influence of sawdust (SD) admixed with bentonite and locally available lateritic soil on consistency limits, free swell index (FSI), compaction characteristics, unconfined compressive strength (UCS), hydraulic conductivity and leachate characteristics. SD content was varied as 10%, 15% and 20%. Diesel oil contaminants (DOC) and deionised water (DIW) were used as the test fluids. From the test results, consistency limits, FSI, maximum dry density, leachate concentration of heavy metals and UCS decreased, whereas optimum moisture content and hydraulic conductivity increased with increasing sawdust content. Furthermore, the energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer revealed the absence of calcium in the blends which have resulted in poor cementation and decreased the UCS. X-ray diffraction showed that the presence of cellulose in sawdust and montmorillonite in bentonite adsorb the heavy metals in DOC. Based on the test results, 15% Saw dust content in the blends proves to be the optimum in retaining the heavy metal concentrations, improving the geotechnical properties and qualifying as a landfill liner material.

Assessment of engineering properties of slag mixtures as a bottom liner in landfills
This work examines the engineering properties and leachate characteristics of ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) blended with laterite soil–bentonite mixtures as a bottom landfill liner. In this study, laterite soil is considered a non-expansive and non-plastic clay; in contrast, bentonite is a highly expansive and highly plastic clay. Laboratory experiments were performed to quantify the effect of GGBS–laterite soil–bentonite mixtures on the liquid limit (LL), free swell index (FSI), compaction characteristics, unconfined compressive strength (UCS), hydraulic conductivity (k) and leachate characteristics tests. As the GGBS percentage in the mix blend increased, the LL, FSI, optimum moisture content, k determined with deionised water/diesel oil contaminants and leachate concentration decreased, whereas the maximum dry densities and UCS value increased. Furthermore, X-ray diffraction analysis and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were performed on UCS samples to determine the occurrence of a hydration reaction in mix blends at 0, 14 and 28 days of curing. The test results revealed that an increase in the calcium (Ca)/silicon (Si) ratio and a decrease in the aluminium (Al)/calcium ratio enhanced the UCS during the curing period. Consequently, 20% GGBS combined with laterite soil–bentonite mixes proved to be the ideal material for landfill bottom liners in waste containment systems.
