AB  - Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have so far been found to permeate through 
      geomembranes within days and potentially pollute the surrounding groundwater if 
      no sufficient depth of underlain soil barrier existed In order to cope with the 
      fast breakthrough of VOCs through high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembrane in 
      the composite liner system, a composite material made of recycled materials was 
      proposed and its mechanical properties were analyzed in a previous study. This 
      artificial liner was composed of crumb rubber, organo-clay, silica fume and epoxy 
      binder together with an environmentally-friendly solvent recycled from paper 
      pulping, and dimethyl sulfoxide as a plasticizer. In this study, the new 
      artificial liner and a typical HDPE geomembrane were tested to compare their 
      abilities to mitigate the movement of VOCs, specifically partition coefficient, 
      diffusion coefficient and mass fluxes. It was found that this new artificial 
      liner had 2-3 orders of magnitude less VOC mass flux than the HDPE geomembrane. 
      The new artificial liner is thought to have a great potential for containing 
      VOCs, even with a thickness of 2.5 cm, and as a substitute for the clay liner. 
      The cost of installing the artificial liner was estimated to be $13.78/m(2). This 
      is lower than the current geomembrane-related price of $19.70-26.91/m(2). The new 
      liner might give a new perspective in future liner design and alleviate the 
      concerning issue of groundwater pollution caused by landfill leachate, which 
      might contain highly mobile VOCs.
