Application of nanoclay and nanofiber filters to reduce soil permeability and leachates from landfill liners: A Review

This study aimed to provide a comprehensive review study of the nanoclay and nanofiber filter application in landfilling stage for solid wastes to control the leachate leakage from landfill liners. The filtering is a key element in landfill liners that prevent the leachate from seepage which is the main factor in groundwater pollution. In this regard, providing new methods that are more adaptable to environmental conditions can be efficient. The presented paper is prepared as a review study on nanotechnology application in geotechnics that is used for preventing leachate leaks from landfills body specifically nanoclay and nanofibers.
