Abstract
Development of municipal solid waste management technologies is important in the developing countries like India to safeguard the nature and effective utilization of our resources. An engineered landfill comprising of low permeable reactive clay liner is one of the most eminent technologies of municipal solid waste management. In view of this, the abundant and low cost natural clays are characterized for their contaminant transport properties especially solute diffusion characteristics in response to the concentration gradient developed across the liner. Natural clays are characterized for their diffusion properties in terms of their effective diffusion coefficient at their maximum dry density state. Further, it is intended to compare two naturally available clays for their diffusion characteristics and propose the best suited clay as landfill liner in terms of their diffusion coefficient.
