Abstract

The disposal of hazardous waste in landfills is protected by clay liners to limit the migration of contaminants to the deep layers and/or water bearing aquifers. When the pollutants are disposed of on the landfills, they may affect the geotechnical properties of clay liners and the consequences may be detrimental if a failure of the liner occurs. The clay minerals that were selected for this study includes kaolinite, illite, montmorillonite and a wide spectrum of clay soils from the State of New Jersey. Among the toxic pollutants selected were, phenol, chlorophenol, chlorobenzene and ethybenzene which were obtained from the toxic pollutant list, PL 92-500 under 307(a). However, only the effects of phenol on kaolinite and illite are presented here.
