Abstract: Landfills are objects that can contaminate groundwater (drinking water sources) and surrounding land due to the influx of harmful leachate. Therefore, it is essential to isolate the groundwater environment from the landfill impact. This can be done through the clay liner constructed in the bottom of landfill. In order to improve the sorption capacity of clay the clay-activated carbon blend in weight proportion 8:2 is proposed. To check the properties of blend the index properties, swelling, compaction, shear strength and hydraulic conductivity tests were carried out. Moreover, the tests of specific surface area of blend were included to the investigation program. The tests results presented in this paper allow to drawn conclusion that the clay-carbon blend is suitable material for construction of the landfill liner.
