A new triple liner system for waste disposal sites was proposed and some laboratory test results on the materials used in this system were introduced. This system consists of double geomembrane sheets with an intermediate protective material made of cast in place polybutadiene urethane elastomer. It is applicable to the waste disposal sites in the land and at the sea. Laboratory test results on polyurethane elastomer are as follows: (1) It has enough viscosity and hardness which are possible to grout on the site. (2) It has high waterproofing capabilities (hydraulic conductivity, less than 10-12cm/s). The construction joint also has same level of waterproofing capabilities. (3) It has high flexibility as same as outside double geomembranes. (4) The tensile strength of construction joint is above 80% of the intact tensile strength.Consequently, this triple liner system has enough to apply safe to waste disposal sites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
