Pollution control
Posted On Monday, January 12th, 2009 By grou
Ground cullet is used for pollution control as
Landfill Cover
Soil used to cover closed landfills. Cullet shows good compaction and has lower processing costs than most other aggregate applications because of less stringent specifications for gradation and contamination.
Oil Spill Cleanup
Cellular glass nodules used to absorb oil for burning in oil spills. The low density of foamglass nodules cause bouyancy, while open cells soak up oil through capillary action. The efficacy of this method is equal to other oil burning systems. This method is cost competitive compared to detergents and less expensive than other burning agents.
