Article Synopsis
- Soil liners often need to be improved with mixtures when they lack the necessary properties for effective contamination control, with an emphasis on low hydraulic conductivity.
- Recent studies have started focusing on how well these liners can prevent the retention of potentially toxic metals, but there's a lack of research specifically on using amendments in soil liners for this purpose.
- A review of literature from 2012 to 2022 identifies 31 materials used as amendments, highlighting coal fly ash as the most common, while also pointing out significant research gaps such as the need for more pilot and field-scale studies.
Soil and water contamination by potentially toxic metals (PTMs) has exerted adverse environmental impacts, which justifies studies of promising remediation alternatives. This article investigated the competitive sorption of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) onto peat, compost, and biochar derived from the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW), but its main innovation was the post-sorption assessment. The effects of contact time on competition between contaminants were systematically analyzed by batch experiments and the effectiveness of the sorption process was evaluated in desorption tests (HO, HCl, NaOH, and NaCl) and sequential extraction.
