Role of Clay Liners in Municipal Solid Waste Landfills: A Review
Abstract: Rapid population growth has significantly increased the generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) in urban and suburban regions. Disposal of MSW in landfills without proper liner systems may lead to leachate migration and subsequent contamination of groundwater and surrounding soils. The use of liner systems at the base of landfills is therefore essential to minimize leachate percolation and protect the environment. Geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) and compacted clay liners (CCLs) …

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, …

Multi-Objective Optimization of Geopolymer Cement Block Parameters Using Bentonite and Fly Ash
Abstract: Presently, geopolymer blocks are being produced by using industrial by-products like fly ash. This study focuses on the development of geopolymer cement blocks using the composition of bentonite and fly ash. The specific objective is to examine and optimize the geopolymer cement block parameters using a novel composition. The oxide ratio, alkali activator ratio, and molarity are considered variables. In contrast, the responses are considered as flow table, fresh density, …

Optimization of Polymer-Enhanced Sustainable Concrete: A Composite Approach with Bentonite and Crumb Rubber Aggregates
Abstract: The disposal of rubber tyres has become challenging; on the other hand, the utilization of rubber tyres is also increasing daily in society. The successful use of crumb rubber as an alternative aggregate and bentonite as a partial cement replacement in concrete composites has been well established through prior research. These materials have individually demonstrated their potential to enhance sustainability, improve concrete properties, and reduce environmental impact, paving the way …

Drilling Fluid Characterization (Filtration Test)
Abstract: This report explores the formulation and testing of a water-based drilling mud used in drilling operations, where fluid circulates through the drillstring and returns to the surface. The study mixes 315 ml of water with 35 ml of corn oil to create the drilling mud and investigates the role of barite in increasing mud density to maintain a hydrostatic pressure capable of managing formation pressure. The findings reveal that increasing …

Assessing the Permeability of Bentonite with Sand, Marble Dust, and Fly Ash mixture with and without Effect of Permeate Solution for the Development of Efficient and Cost-Effective Landfill Liner for Sustainable Waste Management and Environmental Preservation
Abstract: This exploration paper researches the capability of further developing landfill liner materials by integrating varying percentages of bentonite into sand, marble dust, and fly ash mixtures. The study focuses on determining whether these mixtures are suitable for development of landfill liner by examining their permeability properties. Bentonite, a clay known for its high swelling and sealing properties, is added to sand, marble dust, and fly ash at different range from …
