Abstract

Landfill leachate is generated as a consequence of water percolation through the solid waste, oxidation of the waste, and corrosion of the waste. Under-designed landfill sites allow the leachate to easily pass through the soil strata. To identify the effect of contaminants on the engineering properties of the clay liner, a pilot-scale lysimeter was developed. Experiments on two types of soils polluted with leachate were conducted which included silty clay and soil enhanced by chemical stabilization. Lime and silica fume are used as reactive barriers in landfill earthen liners. The leachate generated was monitored periodically and sampled for (pH, Electrical conductivity, Chemical oxygen demand, Chloride, Total dissolved solids, and total suspended solids). Lime (L), silica fume (SF), and lime-silica fume (L-SF) mix have been used for stabilizing soil. Three percentages were used for lime (2%, 4% and 6%) and three percentages were used for silica fume (3%, 5% and 7%) and the optimum percentage of silica fume (5%) was mixed with the proportions of lime. The optimum lime values are 4% from the research and 5% for silica fume. Soil samples were analyzed over a maturation period of 135 days for each run to identify the chemicals and their effect on the soil characteristics. The plasticity index of the stabilized soil continues to decline until it reaches 36% over the 135 days of the maturing period. Furthermore, an increase in silty clay soil hydraulic conductivity was observed from 3.3 × 10−6 cm/sec to 5 × 10−6 cm/sec at 135 days of maturation. Whereas there is a sharp decrease in hydraulic conductivity to achieve a maximum value in the stabilized soil (1.25 ×10−10 cm/sec). Based on laboratory test results, it can be concluded that soil stabilization can improve the geotechnical properties of landfill earthen liners due to pozzolanic reactions.

城市固体废物中的沥滤液污染对粘土衬垫特性的影响
垃圾填埋场沥滤液的产生是水渗过固体废物、废物氧化和废物腐蚀的结果。设计不足的垃圾填埋场会使沥滤液很容易穿过土层。为了确定污染物对粘土衬垫工程特性的影响,开发了一个试验规模的渗滤仪。对两种被沥滤液污染的土壤进行了实验,其中包括淤泥质粘土和通过化学稳定化处理后的土壤。石灰和硅灰被用作垃圾填埋场土衬垫的活性屏障。对产生的沥滤液进行定期监测和采样(pH 值、电导率、化学需氧量、氯化物、溶解固体总量和悬浮固体总量)。石灰(L)、硅灰(SF)和石灰-硅灰(L-SF)混合物被用于稳定土壤。石灰使用了三种比例(2%、4% 和 6%),硅灰使用了三种比例(3%、5% 和 7%),硅灰的最佳比例(5%)与石灰的比例相混合。研究得出的最佳石灰值为 4%,硅灰为 5%。在 135 天的成熟期内,对每次运行的土壤样本进行分析,以确定化学物质及其对土壤特性的影响。在 135 天的熟化期中,稳定土壤的塑性指数持续下降,直至达到 36%。此外,在 135 天的熟化过程中,淤泥质粘土的导水率从 3.3 × 10-6 厘米/秒上升到 5 × 10-6 厘米/秒。而在稳定土壤中,水导率急剧下降,达到最大值(1.25 ×10-10 厘米/秒)。根据实验室测试结果,可以得出结论:稳定土可以改善垃圾填埋场土衬垫的岩土特性,这是由于发生了水泥基反应。

期刊介绍: Journal of Engineering Research (JER) is a international, peer reviewed journal which publishes full length original research papers, reviews, case studies related to all areas of Engineering such as: Civil, Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical, Computer, Chemical, Petroleum, Aerospace, Architectural, Biomedical, Coastal, Environmental, Marine & Ocean, Metallurgical & Materials, software, Surveying, Systems and Manufacturing Engineering. In particular, JER focuses on innovative approaches and methods that contribute to solving the environmental and manufacturing problems, which exist primarily in the Arabian Gulf region and the Middle East countries. Kuwait University used to publish the Journal "Kuwait Journal of Science and Engineering" (ISSN: 1024-8684), which included Science and Engineering articles since 1974. In 2011 the decision was taken to split KJSE into two independent Journals - "Journal of Engineering Research "(JER) and "Kuwait Journal of Science" (KJS).
