Abstract
The sorption of five clay soils is investigated using two main tests i physico chemical tests and ii batch equilibrium tests. The physico chemical properties show that soil weathered mudrocks MR1 glacial till GT1 and estuarine alluviums NEA4 PEA3 and CEA3 are capable of being used as landfill liners and are chosen for further sorption tests. The batch tests i.e. sorption tests on soil suspension produce adsorption-pH curves showing increasing adsorption at higher pH levels. The adsorption data are best fitted using the Langmuir adsorption equation and yield the maximum adsorption capacity of the soilswhich are ranked as estuarine alluvium soils glacial till weathered mudrocks. Estuarine alluvium soils show a good buffering capacity and high sorption capability compared to glacial till and weathered mudrocks. The study also discovers that the maximum sorption capacities are highly controlled by the chemical properties of the soils tested.
