The potential of clay containing 0 similar to 5% sewage sludge ash (SSA) is assessed for use as a landfill liner-soil material. Low temperature N-2 adsorption, batch adsorption, permeability, and unconfined compressive strength tests are performed to evaluate pore structure, adsorption capacity, hydraulic conductivity, and unconfined compressive strength of the clays. The pore size distribution of the modified clay containing SSA ismainly composed of micropores (< 2 nm) andmesopores (2 similar to 7 nm). With the increasing of SSA from 0% to 5%, the adsorption capacity of Zn(II) and Cu(II) to t...
