Abstract The sorption characteristics of raw and biofilm-coated materials: vermiculite, lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA), perlite, zeolite, and shungite toward Cd and Cr(VI) ions were investigated to evaluate the possibility of their use as filtration barrier in the aquifer near a solid domestic waste landfill. The effectiveness of Cr(VI) removal by the raw materials changed in the following order: shungite > zeolite > perlite > vermiculite > LECA and for Cd: zeolite > shungite > vermiculite > perlite > LECA. After biofilm formation on the surface of the materials, the sorption capacity increased in some (perlite, LECA), while in others (zeolite) it was reduced. Four kinetic models were used to describe the experimental data. Mechanisms of metal removal were proposed: for Cr(VI), a characteristic combination of sorption processes was suggested, while the removal of Cd ions could occur by ion exchange and by complexation on the surface of the sorbent. Cr(VI) reduction by living bacterial cells forming a biofilm on the sorbent surface was assessed. Keywords Waste landfills . Sorption natural materials . Cadmium . Chromate . Microbial biofilms .

Introduction Solid domestic waste landfills (SDW) contain a wide range of pollutants, which contribute to an increase in the migration activity of metals in the form of complex compounds. Migration of these pollutants in the underground space can lead to pollution of the nearest aquifer. For remediation of the municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLF), which has been receiving waste for a long period of time, several specific actions were developed. However, actions for
