Selection of material suitable for permeable reactive barriers in the vicinity of landfills This paper focuses on the criteria proposed for the selection of reactive materials suitable for permeable reactive barriers surrounding waste disposal sites. The criteria were divided into three groups: hydraulic, mechanical and sorption. Hydraulic and sorption criteria are equivalents and complementary to one another in the process of reactive material selection. Only a material that fulfills both criteria should be used. The third criterion — mechanical — that is related to the deformation and strength properties of the reactive material should be considered in designing the technology and evaluation of safety conditions.
