...R. K. Rowe; D. D. Jones; A. Rutter Experiments conducted to evaluate the partitioning coefficient from aqueous solution into and out of high-density polyethylene geomembrane, as well as the diffusion coefficient through the geomembrane are reported. The best estimate partitioning coefficient...

... m²/s. Diffusive transport of VOC contaminants through geomembranes in a simulated landfill environment (i.e. in the presence of water vapour) is identical despite the phase they originated from, simplifying the analysis of contaminant transport. The partitioning (sorption) coefficients for PVC were...
