Morphology and mineralogy of rice husk ash treated soil for green and sustainable landfill liner construction

The morphology and mineralogy of the soil treated with rice husk ash (RHA) under different molding moisture conditions. Leachate condition in landfills built with compacted clay soil is damaging the underground water flow with the hazards released from disposed and decomposing waste materials. This...

description The morphology and mineralogy of the soil treated with rice husk ash (RHA) under different molding moisture conditions. Leachate condition in landfills built with compacted clay soil is damaging the underground water flow with the hazards released from disposed and decomposing waste materials.
