Deleterious Substances in Aggregate01:25

Deleterious Substances in Aggregate

233
Deleterious substances in aggregates can be detrimental to the quality and durability of concrete. These substances include organic impurities like loam, which interfere with cement hydration and are usually present in the sand. These prevent a good bond between aggregate and cement paste. Organic impurities can be detected using the colorimetric test, where the darkness of a solution after agitation indicates the level of organic content.
Another type of impurity is clay and fine material that...

Bioremediation

19.8K
Bioremediation is the use of prokaryotes, fungi, or plants to remove pollutants from the environment. This process has been used to remove harmful toxins in groundwater as a byproduct of agricultural run-off and also to clean up oil spills.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Marine Biology
  • Pollution Control

Background:

  • China is a major global importer and producer of waste, contributing significantly to marine debris.
  • Marine debris originates from land-based sources (sewage, industrial waste) and fishery activities (aquaculture, fishing).
  • Debris exists in various forms: beach-stranded (BMD), floating (FMD), and sediment-submerging (SMD).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the sources and impacts of marine debris in China.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of current countermeasures against marine pollution.
  • To highlight the need for enhanced commitment and execution in pollution control strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of land-based and fishery-related waste discharge data.
  • Analysis of marine debris distribution types (BMD, FMD, SMD).
  • Assessment of ecological and health risks associated with marine debris ingestion and accumulation.

Main Results:

  • Domestic sewage and industrial waste are primary sources of marine debris.
  • Fishery activities significantly contribute to marine pollution.
  • Marine debris poses ecological, economic, and human health risks through the food chain.

Conclusions:

  • Comprehensive countermeasures are being implemented in China, with notable success in waste incineration.
  • Despite progress, greater commitment and stronger execution are urgently needed to combat marine debris effectively.
  • Continued efforts are required to mitigate the multifaceted risks of marine pollution in China.
