Leachate produced by various landfill dump site causes serious problem to humans as well other living organisms. In 1990s, permeable reactive barrier has been introduced as it is placed at the side of the landfill dump site which reduces the contamination in the plume. Permeable reactive barrier has several reactive materials like zero valent iron, activated carbon, zeolite, limestone, and others. On the basis of several criteria among the various reactive material rubber (waste tire), fiber is selected as reactive material in this study. The performance of rubber in PRB is analyzed by preparing model setup in laboratory by studying the characteristics of leachate water and treated (using rubber fiber as reactive material) water. The rubber is selected based on the environmental aspect as nowadays it is a challenging task to dispose the tire wastes. Along with rubber, red soil and M-sand are used to improve its efficiency.
