摘要
Bentonite was used to modify steel slag to improve impermeability of steel slag in cover liner of solid waste landfills. The saturated hydraulic conductivity of the compacted steel slag-bentonite mixtures ks was investigated through the flexible-wall permeation tests. Then, the pore size distributions, interlayer spacing of montmorillonite and mineral morphology were investigated through mercury intrusion porosimetry tests, X-ray diffraction tests and scanning electron microscopy tests, in order to analyse the impact mechanism of the ks at the microscopic scale. Thereafter, a formula and a preparation method were proposed, which meets the permeability requirement of the hydraulic barrier (ks≤10−9 m/s). Results showed that the ks of the specimen, treated by prehydration of bentonite, was reduced to 1/2 of that of the untreated one. After improving the gradation of steel slag, the content of macropores between the steel slag particles was decreased, reducing the ks of the specimens to 1/5 of that of the specimen with poorly graded steel slag. The ks and pore size distribution of the specimens mixed steel slag with Wyoming were similar to those of sodium-activated calcium bentonite. The high salt content leachate of steel slag results in the increase of the interlayer spacing and the decrease of the bound water of montmorillonite. Subsequently, the osmotic swelling of bentonite is suppressed. Water-washing treatment of steel slag can alleviate the suppression effect and the formation of montmorillonite clusters, and reduce the ks of specimens to 1/10 of that of the untreated one. © 2022 Zhejiang University.
