Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sealing liner particularly for eliminating infiltrations.
  • Geocompatible textile material defines a textile product whose physical, mechanical and hydraulic properties are such that it can be used in contact with the ground.
  • geocompatible textile materials are constituted by woven fabrics, by non-woven fabrics (hereinafter referred to by the abbreviation NWF), thick flock felts and nets, all made of a polymeric material, particularly polypropylene, polyester and nylon.
  • NWF non-woven fabrics
  • the water-expandable material is typically constituted by sodic or calcic bentonite, possibly with additives.
  • liners of the specified type are laid directly on the ground, and membranes or other liquid-containment and - retention layers are placed over them in the case of tanks, basins and the like.
  • the essential function of said liners is to prevent leaks of liquid into the ground if the membranes split or if the overlying layer cracks, or to prevent the rise of groundwater which might generate pressure from below and damage the containment layers or membranes. They also have a mechanical function of retention and support for the membranes, which generally have modest self-support characteristics.
  • said known liners are composed of a sandwich with two layers of geocompatible textile material.
  • the water-expandable material is inserted between the two layers and kept in place by adhesive and/or by long stitches or tacks.
  • the layers of geocompatible textile material are differentiated, in that one of them, made of tight-mesh woven fabric, or of NWF and the like, has high mechanical strength, to the detriment of permeability, in order to provide the liner with a corresponding mechanical strength, whereas the other layer, generally made of loose-mesh gauze woven fabric, is highly permeable and has the sole purpose of containing the layer of water-expandable material.
  • the water-expandable material being compressed between two scarcely permeable layers, is not reached by any infiltration liquids and thus cannot expand in order to perform its sealing function.
  • the overlap regions of the strips are therefore critical in terms of the impermeability of the layer, and is a further severe problem in the use of known liners.
  • the aim of the present invention is to eliminate the problems encountered in the use of the known sealing liners.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a sealing liner which has great mechanical strength and, at the same time, a similar permeability and therefore a similar ability to absorb and retain infiltrations on both of its sides.
  • the liner according to the present invention therefore constitutes an effective barrier both against infiltrations directed toward the ground and against infiltrations which rise from the ground.
  • Another important object of the present invention is to provide a liner which is structured so as to also seal, in the presence of infiltrations, the overlap regions of the adjacent strips which form a sealing layer.
  • a further important object of the present invention is to provide a liner with selective sealing, wherein the term "selective" defines the ability of the liner to interact with liquids of different kinds so that, for example, one side of the liner is suitable to cutoff fresh-water infiltrations and the other side is suitable to cutoff infiltrations of chemically active liquids or of sea water or of percolation liquids.
  • the present invention provides a sealing liner, characterized in that it comprises a composite pack-like structure having an intermediate support made of geocompatible textile material with predominant mechanical strength which separates two layers of water-expandable material, each one of said two layers being delimited by respective further outer containment layers made of highly permeable geocompatible textile material.
  • the intermediate layer is provided so as to impart to the liner a high-degree of mechanical strength and self-support.
  • the two water-expandable layers are provided in order to give the liner the ability to prevent the passage of liquids migrating in opposite directions.
  • the intermediate support is constituted by a flocked geocompatible textile material with a high imbibition power, with a unit weight comprised between 150 and 1000 grams per square meter.
  • a layer of NWF based on nylon pretreated in a hot-air oven has been found to be particularly suitable for this purpose.
  • the material of the expandable layers is typically constituted by sodic bentonite (montmorillonite) or calcic bentonite, possibly with the addition of synthetic expanding agents which can be chosen according to the required sensitivity of the layers to specific liquids or compounds dissolved in them.
  • the outer containment layers are preferably constituted by loose-mesh fabric, typically geocompatible textile gauze, made of spun or flocked polypropylene or polyester.
  • the expandable material is in granular form, with a grain size comprised between 5 and 40 mesh, and is kept in place by tacking and/or by non-toxic adhesives (e.g. fish glues) which prevent said granular material from concentrating by gravity when the liner is installed in vertical or almost vertical arrangements.
  • non-toxic adhesives e.g. fish glues
  • the reference numeral 10 generally designates the liner according to the invention, which is substantially composed of an intermediate geocompatible textile support 11 which separates two layers 12-13 of water-expandable material and of two further outer layers 14 and 15 of permeable geocompatible textile material which essentially have the function of containing and retaining the water-expandable material.
  • the intermediate support 11 has high mechanical-strength characteristics and imparts these characteristics to the liner essentially in order to make it self-supporting and prevent its collapse in case of installation on vertical or almost vertical walls with slopes of more than 45 o .
  • the support 11 is preferably made of flock-like geocompatible textile material with high imbibition power and with unit weight comprised between 150 and 1000 grams per square meter. Nylon-flock tight-mesh woven fabrics, and non-woven fabrics made of the same material, have been found to be particularly suitable for the purpose.
  • said materials are advantageously pre-treated in a hot-air oven with temperatures comprised between 70 and 80 o C; this treatment forms a surface flocking which has high water retention characteristics.
  • said support In order to improve the mechanical characteristics of said support, it can be further reinforced with metallic or geocompatible textile nets.
  • the layers 12 and 13 of water-expandable material are typically constituted by sodic bentonite (montmorillonite) with a silica percentage comprised between 30 and 70%.
  • sodic bentonite montmorillonite
  • calcic bentonite or a mixture of sodic and calcic bentonites.
  • one layer may be made of sodic bentonite and the other one may be made of calcic bentonite, in order to give said layers the ability to swell in the presence of different liquids, for example sea water and fresh water.
  • sodic and/or calcic bentonite can receive the addition of organic expansion agents chosen with reference to the type of the above mentioned chemically active components.
  • the material of said water-expandable layers is preferably in a granular form with a grain size comprised between 5 and 40 mesh, advantageously 25 mesh, and the thickness of the layers is comprised between 2 and 8 millimeters.
  • the water-expandable material is contained by the surface layers 14 and 15, which are highly permeable in order to allow the passage of liquids inside the water-expandable layers 12 and 13.
  • the layers 14 and 15 are made of loose-mesh geocompatible fabric, typically of geocompatible gauze woven with polypropylene or polyester threads. Naturally, the "meshes" of said fabric are finer than the minimum grain size of the water-expandable material, in order to prevent its escape.
  • the surface layers 14 and 15 are sewn to the intermediate support 11 with long stitches 16, briefly termed tacks, which substantially form a net for retaining the granular material.
  • the granular material of the layers 12 and 13 can be treated with a non-toxic adhesive, advantageously with fish glues.
  • the liner material structured as described above is manufactured in strips S whose width is comprised between 1.5 and 5.50 meters and whose length is such that it can be packaged in rolls R which are sufficiently easy to handle.
  • the adjacent strips Sa-Sb...Sk are partially overlapped, as shown in figure 2, where ZSa...ZSk indicate the overlap regions of said strips.
