Abstract

In this work, we studied the elimination possibility of the nitrate content in leachate of a technical burying centre (Boumergued / Algeria) by  adsorption on sodium bentonite  of Maghnia and mixture bentonite-lime. The tests have been realized in synthetic solutions of distilled water. The adsorption results show rapid kinetics at the ends of a duration exceeding 2 hours to sodium bentonite, this time decreases to 20 minutes for the bentonite-lime mixture, with elimination rates equal to 45% and 96% respectively.
