Why is silica gel an environmentally friendly material?

The world produces 490 million tons of garbage every year, and China produces about 150 million tons of municipal waste every year. The urban garbage volume of urban population in China is about 152 million tons, the harmless treatment volume is 94 million tons, and the harmless treatment rate is 62%. The harmless treatment rate of rural garbage is lower.


At present, urban waste mainly adopts sanitary landfill, composting, incineration and other methods. Most of the urban wastes are stacked and simply landfilled, and sanitary landfill, mechanized composting and incineration are also applied. Incineration technology is the most effective way to waste, reduce, and recycle waste, and it is the development mode of waste disposal in the future.


Silica gel chemical formula mSiO2·nH2O (Silica gel; Silica), is a highly active adsorbent material, is an amorphous substance, insoluble in water and any solvent, non-toxic and tasteless, chemically stable, except for strong alkali and hydrofluoric acid. Reacts with any substance. The burning of silica gel does not produce odor, poison, and residue is a non-toxic and harmless white powder. Therefore, silicone filling and burning do not harm the environment. In addition, due to the high recovery value of silica gel, it is rarely discarded. In summary, silica gel is an excellent environmentally friendly material. It is worth a lot of application in the field of daily necessities. Silicone products made from silica gel not only protect people's health, but also reduce environmental stress. The more environmentally friendly materials are used, the healthier the earth is, and the environment in which we live is more suitable for human habitation! Silicone not only brings us products, but also gives us a good environmental outlook.
