Assessment of Clayey Soils and Bentonite to Use as Compacted Clay Liner for the Disposal of Municipal Solid Wastes at Lucknow City, India
Abstract: Dumping of municipal solid wastes in a pit without liner causes groundwater contamination. Use of locally available clayey soils will be a cost-effective landfill technique. Mixing of locally available soils with bentonite reduces the permeability. To develop the liner for the disposal of municipal solid wastes generated from Lucknow city, India, the soil samples were collected from three different locations as nearby the Sagar Institute, Barabanki district; near railway crossing, …
