5. Conclusions
- When changes in the permeability coefficient were examined at different pressure heads and different pollutant contact times, the permeability coefficient decreased as the pressure head increased (the hydraulic gradient increased) regardless of the pollutant contact time. In addition, when the pollutant contact time was 4 h or longer, the permeability coefficient of the geotextile–polynorbornene liner was 10−7 cm/s or less, which is defined as almost an impermeable layer.
- Changes in the permeability coefficient were examined over time under different pressure head conditions. There was almost no change in the permeability coefficient starting from the pollutant contact time of 4 h. Thus, when the pollutant contact time reaches 4 h or more, the geotextile–polynorbornene liner has an impermeable layer that can block pollutants.
- The results of the 3D pollutant diffusion analysis showed that, for a pollutant contact time of 4 h, the maximum concentration of the pollutant that permeated through the geotextile–polynorbornene liner was less than approximately 0.8% compared to the initial pollutant concentration. Therefore, the numerical analysis results confirm that the geotextile–polynorbornene liner has a pollutant blocking effect over time.
- The test and numerical analysis results confirm the impermeability performance of the geotextile–polynorbornene liner against oil pollutants. Therefore, it has potential as an application for the prevention of pollutant diffusion.
