BENTONITE ADDED RICE HUSK AS IMPERVIOUS BARRIERS OF LANDFILL COVERS
Abstract
The disposal of the rice husks has been a great challenge globally for a long time now, this is
because it is produced in large amounts due to the fact that rice remains to be the staple food in
many countries. The current conditions of the world greatly demand for the use of durable
materials which are also very strong. Rice husks are known to be good example of such
materials. The main aim of this study was to find out how bentonite added rice husk as
impervious barriers is used as landfill covers and hence this study was to focus on how the use of
bentonite added rice husks can be used for landfill covers. In order to achieve that various
aspects of this study needed to understood in order to achieve the main aim of the study, some of
this aspects include; To carry out a detailed literature survey regarding to bentonite added rice
husk as impervious barriers of landfill covers, in order to get a deep understanding of this topic.
