Nanoclay application to geotextiles to improve adsorption function for removal of heavy metal
and toxic components in waste landfill sites
N
anofibers are one of the most advanced materials which can be easily designed with high performance
materials having distinctive properties. In addition to fibers, nanoparticles (such as nanoclay) can be used to
make unique formulations which can, in turn, be used to make conventional fibers for geotextiles and yarn-type
geogrids. As an example of nanocomposite geo-synthetics in geo-environmental applications, it is very important to
eliminate the toxic and organic components of various waste leachate solutions. There is no such capability for the
standard manufactured nonwoven geotextiles and needed is to manufacture the functional nonwoven geotextiles
which can absorb the toxic and organic components that may be harmful to personal health and the environment.
The general concept of nanotechnology formulations used to manufacture geotextiles is introduced in this paper.
Separation and filtration functions using geotextiles from nanoclay formulations are introduced as an important
concept. For an example of nanoclay formulations used to manufacture geotextiles, yellow clay as nanoparticles
were added to make a polyester formulation in turn to make nonwoven geotextiles to improve the removal effects of
toxic and organic components of leachate solutions. Engineering test behavior was evaluated to confirm the effects
of yellow clay addition. Finally, the possibility of nanocomposite formulations for geo-synthetics is considered in a
number of common situations.
