The Utilization of a Deflocculant to Decrease the Permeability of a Clay Liner

by G. Stephen Mason, USPCI Inc, United States,

Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Environmental Engineering

Abstract:

A hazardous waste landfill was completed in Oklahoma during 1988. The clay liner was constructed to fulfill the RCRA requirements for permeability of equal to or less than 1E-07 centimeters per second. The natural clay did not satisfy this requirement. The addition of a deflocculant produced a clay liner which satisfied this permeability requirement.
