Laboratory assessment of the relationship between membrane behaviour and migration of PFAS through geosynthetic clay liners
Besides their low hydraulic conductivity (typically ≤ 10 -11 m/s), the reduction in the transport rate of aqueous-phase contaminants through geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs), compared to mineral barriers comprising non-active clays, is ascribed to the ability of the bentonite component of GCLs to exhibit semipermeab...
