Chloride at 25,000 mg/L: Co-Disposed Salt and the Gel Yield Ceiling
A landfill that accepts salt cake from a nearby chlor-alkali plant runs a leachate at 25,000 mg/L chloride and 52 mS/cm conductivity. Its polymer demand sits at 34 kg/m³, against 14 kg/m³ for the municipal-waste cell next door with the same COD. The site spent a year blaming the polymer, switching g…
