This study was conducted to investigate the consolidation characteristics of the marine clay, treated with predetermined ratios of lime and briquette ash. The standard consolidation test was performed for the sample of mixture remoulded under the condition of optimum moisture content. The results obtained were as follows ; 1.The increase of the consolidation coefficient due to load increament was larger in the lime treated soil and briquette ash treated soil than in the untreated soil. The decrease of the compression index due to admixing ratio of additives was smaller in the former than in the latter. 2.The increase of the secondary consolidation coefficient of the untreated soil due to load increment was minimal, while that of lime treated soil and the lime-briquette ash treated soil was conspicuous and that of briquette ash treated soil was slight. 3.The $C\alpha$/Cc relationship of untreated soil was represented by colsely distributed points. That of briquette ash treated soil, lime treated soil and the lime-briquette ash treated soil was represented by linear distribution. The $C\alpha$/Cc values of untreated soil, briquette ash treated soil and lime treated soil were approximately 0.049, 0.044 and 0.031, respectively. 4.The maximum consolidation coefficient was obtained with lime and briquette ash (lime : briquette .h 2 :1) mixture ratio of 15%. And the minimum secondary consolidation coefficient, compression index was obtained with same mixture ratio. The required quantity of lime could be reduced and the consolidation was accelerated by applying the above mixture ratio.

Municipal landfill leachate, a major source of soil contamination and ground water pollution, causes serious environmental problems. To investigate the removal efficiency of pollutants in the leachate by sand, briquet ash, fly ash, and activated carbon columns, COD and some pollutants in the leachate passed through each column for 8 weeks were examined. Average COD removal efficiency for 8 weeks was 83%, 45%, and 43% by activated carbon, briquet ash and fly ash columns, respectively. COD was not effectively reduced by sand column. Average ${NH_4}\;^+$ removal efficiency for 8 weeks was more than 60% by ail columns. Hardness was effectively removed for 8 weeks by fly ash and activated carbon columns. Anoins including $PO_4\;^{3-}$, $CI^-$ and $SO_4^{2-}$ were not removed by all columns.
