Pemrosesan sampah di Tempat Pembuangan Akhir menghasilkan air lindi (leacheate) yang merupakan hasil buangan yang perlu penanganan yang serius. Melihat kondisi tanah di TPA Batu Layang yang sebagian besar berjenis gambut yang menyebabkan mudahnya penyebaran polutan dari air lindi sehingga dibutuhkan lapisan kedap. Perlu dilakukannya upaya untuk mengatasi sebaran air lindi tersebut. Satu diantaranya adalah dengan pemasangan penghalang lempung (clay barrier), sebagai lapisan kedap penahan kontaminasi polutan agar tidak mencemari air tanah dan tanah berdasarkan sifat konduktivitas hidrolik. Nilai konduktivitas hidrolik (k) penghalang lempung (clay barrier) yang optimal sebagai lapisan yang mampu menahan sebaran polutan dalam air lindi (leacheate) di suatu TPA diperoleh dengan melakukan uji permeabilitas. Dari uji permeabilitas nilai k tanah asli TPA Batu Layang 1,87 x 10-3 m/det. Dari hasil pengukuran nilai k dari kelima sampel tanah modifikasi untuk lapisan clay barrier, sampel campuran tanah + 2 lapisan bentonite memiliki nilai k paling kecil yaitu 1,81 x 10-10 m/s. nilai tersebut disebabkan sifat bentonit yang mengembang yang dapat mengabsorbsi air dengan kapasitas yang besar, yang masuk dalam syarat maksimum untuk lapisan kedap dasar TPA yaitu 1 x 10-8 m/detik. Kata Kunci : TPA Batu Layang, leacheate, lapisan kedap, clay barrier, konduktivitas hidrolik.

ABSTRACTThe safety of vitrified radioactive waste disposal in granite is based on the concept of multiple barriers, which include an engineered clay barrier placed between the waste package and the granite. The mechanical properties of the swelling clays used were studied with a view to practical application for storage facility dimensioning. This involved a macroscopic examination of the clays swelling capacities (for sealing of storage boreholes) and fracture criteria (mechanical stability).

AbstractThe thermal stability of bentonites is of particular interest for containment barriers in nuclear waste storage facilities. The kinetics of smectite reactions have been investigated under laboratory conditions for some time. The variables of time, chemical composition and temperature have been varied in these experiments. The results of such an assessment are that there are about as many kinetic values deduced from experiments as there are experiments.Experiments using natural bentonite to study the smectite-to-illite conversion have been interpreted as a progressive transformation of montmorillonite to illite. It is highly probable that the initial reaction product is not illite but a high-charge beidellite + saponite + quartz mineral assemblage which gives, then, beidellite-mica interstratified mixed-layer minerals. These experimental reactions are noticeably different from those of diagenesis, being closer to reactions in hydrothermal systems.

<p>Clay minerals are widely used as materials for construction of engineered barriers for nuclear waste and spent fuel repositories all over the world due to perfect isolation properties and high sorption capacity. Unwanted microbiological processes that occur in geological repository can cause deterioration of clay barrier materials, which may significantly affect long-term safety of the repository. It is important to note that such unwanted processes could be caused both by native microbial population and bacteria brought in from outside during the construction of the repository.</p><p>This paper aims to develop a general concept that could be used to prove the risk of unwanted microbial processes’ occurrence in clay materials.  </p><p>Some features of mineral composition of clay materials, including the content of iron, sulphur, phosphorus, organic and mineral carbon, provide the basis for the concept. The ratios of free mono- and di-valent cations present in the solution (Na-K-Ca-Mg) are also taken into account. Another approach presumes microflora composition analysis by means of high-efficient 16S rRNA sequencing method. In addition, the results of several tests dedicated to microbial communities’ stimulation are discussed. These include tests on hydrogen or organic substance addition as electron donors with subsequent standard tests on metabolic activity evaluation, MTT test and respiration assessment of microbial population, which is represented by both planktonic cells and cells incorporated into biofilms. The developed concept was used to assess clay materials found in Russian Federation that could potentially be used to construct engineered safety barriers. These data formed the basis for the formation of a database of microbial safety of engineering barrier materials for radioactive waste storage.</p>
