Effect of woody biomass as part of a solidification reagent for liquid waste solidification on microtox rapid toxicity test

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

MetaFLO has engineered a chemical formulation that includes a proprietary woody biomass product to solidify liquid waste streams generated from horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and hydro excavation (hydrovac) operations. This solution is designed to minimize the dosage of traditional superabsorbent polymers reducing operating costs and environmental impacts. The goal of this project is to optimize the use of the woody biomass co-reagent and provide MetaFLO with actionable knowledge to refine the formulation and expand their existing customer base in Western Canada. The project will also produce knowledge in the emerging research area of applied chemistry for liquid waste management, and expand our understanding of the chemical interactions between liquid wastes and lignocellulosic materials. This project will contribute to reducing the use of putrescible materials and potentially harmful chemicals in the management of industrial waste generated from HDD and hydrovac operations across Western Canada.
