SGK developed gypsum for oil spill response
Specialists of the Samara Gypsum Plant could not remain indifferent to the accident that occurred in Norilsk, diesel fuel leaked, and at least 6 thousand tons of petroleum products got into the soil.
A technology for using Drilling gypsum to neutralize soilscontaminated with petroleum products was developed.
Drilling gypsum is an environmentally friendly product obtained by dehydrating the natural special composition of gypsum stone from its own quarry to the state of calcium sulfate semihydrate betta modification (without the introduction of any modifying chemical additives).
It is a loose material with a basic particle size (not less than 86%) of less than 200 microns from white to light gray, acting as an absorbent substance.
When gypsum and diesel fuel interact, a paste-like mass is formed on the surface, which is then easily separated from the main part of the soil.
This technology makes it possible to reduce the volume of transportation of affected soil and / or reduce the cost of soil restoration, including through the possibility of remediation at the site of contamination.
SGC material was included in the list of potential technologies for oil spill response.
