Designing the next generation of geosynthetic liner systems

该项目旨在提高土工合成衬垫系统的有效性，以遏制新出现的污染物，如单氟烷基和多氟烷基物质（PFASs），以更好地保护澳大利亚的地下水资源。该项目希望通过实验验证理论，以改进土工合成衬套系统性能的预测模型。预期的结果包括新的和更新的设计准则，以有效地保护环境，防止全氟磺酸，并建立新的方法来预测功能安全壳系统的寿命。这些结果有望通过影响下一代设计法规来确保PFAS对环境的长期保护，从而使废物和修复行业受益。

The project aims to improve the effectiveness of geosynthetic liner systems to contain emerging contaminants such as per-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) for better protection of Australian groundwater resources. The project expects to experimentally validate theory to improve predictive models for performance of geosynthetic liner systems. Expected outcomes include new and updated design guidelines for effective environmental protection against PFASs and establishment of new approaches for predicting functional containment lifetimes of liner systems. These outcomes are expected to benefit the waste and remediation industries by influencing next-generation design regulations to ensure long-term environmental protection from PFAS.
