| Summary: | accomplished in order to determine which material, if any, and material. The cotton gin trash dissolved in the presence and pore diameter than on the organic carbon content of the and the retardation factor are more dependent on surface area and the second highest retardation factor. Activated carbon as expected. The results show that the adsorption capacity b, and the linear adsorption distribution coefficient K,,.,, chemical during the isotherm testing, no data could be collected for the extraction procedure. Lignite has the compounds are used in this study: Benzene, Toluene, and O- could be added to the design of landfill liners to aid in current liners in order to improve the liner's performance by has the highest retardation factor of each of the chemicals, highest adsorption capacity of the three remaining materials However, further evaluation of these liner materials must be lignite, compost, peat moss, and powdered activated carbon liner materials that could be utilized in conjunction with material. Because activated carbon sorbed all of the material. The retardation factor, R., was calculated from of each of the solvents so no data is presented for this preventing the release of hazardous chemicals into the produced from cotton gin trash. Three volatile organic study to be used as an additive material in liner design. subsurface environment and groundwater supply. subsurface environment. Five alternative liner materials test materials. Lignite is the leading candidate after this the breakthrough curve data for each combination of chemical The purpose of this study is to evaluate alternative landfill were determined by equilibrium studies for each chemical and were tested in this study: granular activated carbon, Xylene. The linear Langmuir isotherm coefficients, Qo, and |
