ENHANCEMENT OF SOIL-BENTONITE BARRIER PERFORMANCE WITH THE ADDITION OF NATURAL HUMUS

Description of batch sorption experiments with TCE solutions. Schematic experimental setup for column sorption with soil and bentonite. Analysis of results with isotherm sorption coefficient evolution with duration of experiment. Adjusted data and model calibrations are compared. Multiple contaminant profiles are obtained with collection of time-dependent data effluent breakthrough curves with organic-rich natural humus mixed with soil.
