Summary of Guide4.1 The wide range of uses of geomembranes as barriers inmany different environments to many different permeatingspecies requires different test procedures to assess the effec-tiveness of a

17、given membrane for a given application. Thepermeating species range from a single component to highlycomplex mixtures such as those found in waste liquids andleachates. In specialized applications, service it may be impor-tant to measure transmission or migration of a species thatwould take place un

Tests that would be applicable to the measurement ofthe permeability of a material to different permeants present invarious applications are summarized in Table 1.4.1.1 In the use of geomembr

19、anes in service as barriers tothe transmission of fluids, it is essential to recognize thedifference between geomembranes that are nonporous homo-geneous materials and other liner materials that are porous,such as soils and concretes. The transmission of permeatingspecies through geomembranes withou

20、t holes proceeds byabsorption of the species in the geomembrane and diffusionthrough the geomembrane on a molecular basis. The drivingforce is chemical potential across the geomembrane. A liquidpermeates porous materials in a condensed state that can carrythe dissolved constituents, and the driving

21、force for suchpermeation is hydraulic pressure. Due to the selective nature ofgeomembranes, the permeation of the dissolved constituents inliquids can vary greatly, that is, components of a mixture canpermeate at different rates due to differences in solubility anddiffusibility in a given geomembran

22、e. With respect to theinorganic aqueous salt solution, the geomembranes are semi-permeable, that is, the water can be transmitted through thegeomembranes, but the ions are not transmitted. Thus, thewater that is transmitted through a hole-free geomembranedoes not carry dissolved inorganics. The dire

23、ction of perme-ation of a component in the mixture is determined thermody-namically by its chemical potential difference or concentrationgradient across the geomembrane. Thus the water in thewastewater on the upstream side is at a lower potential than theless contaminated water on the downstream sid

The rate of permeationthrough a geomembrane depends on the solubility of theorganic in the geomembrane and the diffusibility of the organicin the ge

Signifi

36、cance and Uses5.1 The principal characteristic of geomembranes is theirintrinsically low permeability to a broad range of gases, vapors,and liquids, both as single-component fluids and as complexmixtures of many constituents. As low permeable materials,geomembranes are being used in a wide range of

37、engineeringapplications in geotechnical, environmental, and transportationareas as barriers to control the migration of mobile fluids andtheir constituents. The range of potential permeants is broadand the service conditions can differ greatly. This guide showsusers test methods available for determ

38、ining the permeabilityof geomembranes to various permeants.5.2 The transmission of various species through a geomem-brane is subject to many factors that must be assessed in orderto be able to predict its effectiveness for a specific service.Permeability measurements are affected by test conditions,

39、 andmeasurements made by one method cannot be translated fromone application to another.Awide variety of permeability testshave been devised to measure the permeability of polymericmaterials; however, only a limited number of these procedureshave been applied to geomembranes. Test conditions andproc

40、edures should be selected to reflect actual service require-ments as closely as possible. It should be noted that fieldconditions may be difficult to model or maintain in thelaboratory.This may impact apparent performance of geomem-brane samples.5.3 This guide discusses the mechanism of permeation o

41、fmobile chemical species through geomembranes and the per-meability tests that are relevant to various types of applicationsand permeating species. Specific tests for the permeability ofgeomembranes to both single-component fluids and multicom-ponent fluids that contain a variety of permeants are de

42、scribedand discussed.6. Basis of Classification6.1 Even though geomembranes are nonporous and cannotbe permeated by liquids as such, gases and vapors of liquidscan permeate a geomembrane on a molecular level. Thus, evenif a geomembrane is free of macroscopic holes, some compo-nents of the contained

43、fluid can permeate and might escape thecontainment unit.6.2 The basic mechanism of permeation through geomem-branes is essentially the same for all permeating species. Themechanism differs from that through porous media, such assoils and concrete, which contain voids that are connected insuch a way

44、that a fluid introduced on one side will flow fromvoid to void and emerge on the other side; thus, a liquid canflow through the voids and carry dissolved species.6.3 Overall rate of flow through saturated porous mediafollows Darcys equation that states that the flow rate isproportional to the hydrau

45、lic gradient, as is shown in thefollowing equation:Q 5 kiA (1)where:Q = rate of flow,k = constant (Darcys coefficient of permeability),A = total inside cross-sectional area of the sample con-tainer, andi = hydraulic gradient.6.4 With most liquids in saturated media, the flow followsDarcys equation;

46、however, the flow can deviate due tointeractions between the liquid and the surface of the soilparticles. These interactions become important in the escape ofdissolved species through a low-permeability porous linersystem in a waste facility. Dissolved chemical species, eitherorganic or inorganic, n

47、ot only can permeate such a mediumadvectively (that is, the liquid acts as the carrier of thechemical species), but also by diffusion in accordance withFicks two laws of diffusion.6.5 Even though polymeric geomembranes are manufac-tured as solid homogeneous nonporous materials, they containinterstit

48、ial spaces between the polymer molecules throughwhich small molecules can diffuse. Thus, all polymericgeomembranes are permeable to a degree.Apermeant migratesthrough the geomembrane on a molecular basis by an activateddiffusion process and not as a liquid. This transport process ofchemical species

49、involves three steps:6.5.1 The solution or absorption of the permeant at theupstream surface of the geomembrane,6.5.2 Diffusion of the dissolved species through thegeomembrane, and6.5.3 Evaporation or desorption of the permeant at thedownstream surface of the geomembrane.6.6 The driving force for this type of activated permeationprocess is the “activity” or chemical potential of the permeantthat is analogous to mechanical potential and electrical poten-tial in other systems. The chemical potential of the permeantdecreases continuously in the direction of the permeation.C
