GCL Tech Talk: Determining Leachate Properties

Once your leachate sample is sent to the laboratory and analyzed, ionic strength, RMD, and the anion ratio will be calculated along with the pH and electrical conductivity in order to determine the best geosynthetic clay liner to use for your site’s particular leachate. It is imperative to begin this process as early as possible to provide sufficient time to ensure chemical equilibrium is reached for the long-term performance test.
