Waste glass turned sewage cleaning tool

There will be a lot of domestic waste in life, which must include large amounts of discarded glass. They are often thrown away as rubbish, and a new study in the United Kingdom says that waste glass can be turned into a valuable material that can be used to produce a special kind of material. Clean up the sewage.

Nichola Coleman, a researcher at the University of Greenwich in the United Kingdom, reported the results in a new issue of the International Journal of Environment and Waste Management. She said that many glasses are discarded as waste, some of which are recycled to a certain extent, but colored glass is rarely recycled.

Coleman said that used glass, including colored glass, could be further used. She found that heating them to sealed containers with lime and caustic soda heated to 100 degrees Celsius would result in the formation of a type of xonotlite. substance. The senofossil has good adsorption power to poisonous heavy metals and other substances in the sewage and can be further used in sewage treatment.

Coleman believes that this method can be used to recycle waste glass. The study itself is very simple. Its novelty is that no one has ever thought of using this method to recycle waste glass.
