... be investigated to limit the long-term tensile strains in the GMB liner and hence increase its service life. Antioxidant depletion was evaluated in terms of the oxidative induction time (OIT). Although the OIT method cannot quantify the amount or the type of specific antioxidants present in the GMB...

...R. K. Rowe; A. Hoor The heat flow through double composite landfill liner systems is modelled for different liner configurations and different modes of landfill operation. The estimated temperature is used to estimate the likely service life (SL) of the secondary geomembrane (SGM) and to compare...
