Water Retention Curve and Shrinkage of Sludge from a Leachate Treatment Plant (original) (raw)

Springer eBooks, 2012

Abstract

This paper presents the results of physical–mineralogical and morphological characterization analysis performed on sludge from a leachate treatment plant (SLTP). Water retention drying and wetting paths were followed using specimens with similar initial water content (arrived at the laboratory). Based on the compaction curve, different moisture contents were chosen for the preparation of specimens for shrinkage tests. Results are analysed and discussed, bearing in mind the possibility of the sludge being used as part of the final cover system of a municipal solid waste landfill.
