| Abstract | In order to better understand the potential effectiveness of permeable treatment systems, four readily available, low-cost permeable materials, coal, limestone, fly ash and a soil containing clay - were tested to determine their ability to remove organic pollutants from two simulated hazardous waste leachates. The capabilities of the individual materials were evaluated with respect to their abilities to retain total organic carbon and twelve selected priority pollutants. Results indicate that the most effective ordering of materials was a layer of fly ash, followed by a layer of coal, followed by a layer of limestone. |
