Both desalinated sea water and sea sand contain a certain amount of OH- ions, which helps reducing the ratio of Cl-/OH- in concrete and thus inhibit the Cl- ions …
Believe it or not, you can build a simple sand filter at home. All you need is a container, gravel, and sand. Layer the materials in the container, starting with gravel at the bottom, then fine sand, and finally coarse sand at the top. Pour water into the top, and voila! Watch as cleaner water emerges from the bottom.
Strong evidence exists that a combination of mineral admixtures for the concrete and reinforcement with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) can effectively solve the …
The synthesis sea salt solution with the ionic strength of 0.7 produced larger bubbles compared to NaCl solution with the ionic strength of 0.5. ... Application of MBs and NBs in water-treatment technology has been recently ... studied the aeration possibility of ground water by micro-NBs and found that the hydraulic conductivity of the sand ...
Mega land reclamation projects have been carried out on the coral reefs in the South China Sea. Coral sand was used as a backfill material through hydraulic filling, with fill heights ranging from 6 to 10 m. To enhance foundation stability, vibro-flotation and impact rolling have been employed. However, the uneven distribution of coral sand, …
ions on the surface of the sea sand migrate, it will lead to the development of an innovative desalination technology of sea sand. In this paper, a systematic experimental study was car-ried out to analyze the desorption effect of chloride ions on the surface of sea sand under the action of natural dif-
Also, limitations and possible challenges in applicability have been highlighted. 2. Physical and chemical properties of seawater and sea sand. Sea water has primarily chloride salts along with presence of some other ions, whereas sea sand has fine seashells along with chloride and sulfate salts [8].

The first application of SSF as a mean of water treatment dates back to year 1804 when John Gibb designed and built a slow sand filter for his bleachery and sold the surplus treated water to the public (Huisman and Wood, 1974).For over two centuries, it has remained an effective water treatment technology in both small and large …
Sand gradation are fine as well. 2.2. Preparation. It is widely accepted that the chloride content has a notable effect on the corrosion of ordinary steel in reinforced concrete [15].By using accelerated corrosion testing and changing the Cl − content in sea-sand, Dias et al. [16] showed that steel reinforcement corrosion became significant when the …
Seawater and sea sand concretes (SW-SS) have been undergoing evaluation as viable alternatives in concrete production. • This review critically evaluates the literature in the relevant research domain and summarizes the effects of salts in …
The use of sea sand and seawater in concrete can provide sustainability to natural resources, while improving the mechanical …
Developing green and economical low-alkalinity seawater sea sand concrete via innovative processing underground sediment ... essential for effective calcination. The final step involved thermal treatment in a muffle furnace (Yamato FO811C), gradually heating the sediment from 25 °C to 700 °C at 10 °C/min and holding it at 700 °C for 2 h ...

All highly developed tertiary stage of wastewater treatment technologies can remove microplastics having a diameter of less than 20 mm. The rapid sand filter can remove 98%, dissolved air flotation 95%, and DF 45%–98% of the MPs from secondary sewage water during the treatments. The treatments also detached all types of MPs.
For example, green sand or activated alumina is commonly used as arsenic removal media but only if we are using the permeate for drinking and pharmaceutical applications [10]. Dissolved air flotation is also a conventional pre-treatment technique in which air is introduced in the raw water which assists to remove hydrophobic contents …
Description of the selected WWTPs and advanced wastewater treatment technologies. The most commonly used advanced final treatment stage technologies were selected for our study. The tertiary treatments included different filtering (sand and cloth) and flotation techniques. Also, membrane bioreactor was selected.
Abstract. In this paper, the most important observations of the effect of seawater (SW) and/or sea-sand (SS) on the properties of concrete are presented and critically reviewed. Concrete is responsible for about 9% of global annual industrial water and almost 70% of the extracted natural sands use. During last decades many …
This growth has depleted natural river sand and freshwater sources. The use of sea sand and seawater in concrete can provide sustainability to natural resources, while improving the mechanical ...
However, rapid sand filtration is more preferred as a tertiary treatment option post various treatment techniques like sedimentation, coagulation and flocculation (Brunner et al., 2019; Patrício Silva, 2021). An advantage of rapid sand filtration technique is their relatively low maintenance and operational costs.
This is attributed to the fact that the undisturbed sea sand undergoes desalination treatment (spraying, soaking, ... FRP bars instead of steel bars to prepare concrete is a new idea and method, and it is also one of the most effective technologies [109], [110], [111]. FRP bars is a non-metallic material, which is a high-performance …

High chloride ion concentration is the main obstacle to use sea sand as the fine aggregate for reinforced concrete structures. The chloride ion on the surface of sea sand mainly exists in the form of sodium chloride with electric field migration characteristics.
