The environmental advantages of garnet abrasives are as follows:
◆ Less dust
Pomegranate sand is used for surface blasting treatment, because its specific gravity is relatively high, so less dust is generated during the blasting process. This ensures operator health and safety and improves operator visibility.
Compared with slag (in the process of slag formation, cold water or even sea water is used for high temperature cooling, so the glass phase structure is formed, which is brittle). particles. Due to the relatively small specific gravity of slag, small slag particles are suspended in the air, causing environmental pollution.
Likewise, quartz sand is a very brittle abrasive. During the blast grinding process, a large amount of silicic acid dust that is harmful to the human body and seriously pollutes the environment will be produced. Once this dust is inhaled by the human body, it can easily lead to silicosis and even cancer.
◆ Environmental friendly
Different from conventional abrasive blasting materials, pomegranate sand is a pure natural non-toxic mineral. It does not contain free silicon harmful substances that cause silicosis, and does not contain toxic heavy metals or radioactive pollutants.
During the operation, due to the relatively large specific gravity of the product, little dust is generated, which effectively ensures the health of the operator. In addition, the low consumption and recyclable characteristics of the product can greatly reduce the amount of waste disposal and cost after the product is used.
◆ Recyclable
Garnet sand is very suitable for many fields. Normally, it can be reused 5 times. The number of cycles can be more if it has not lost its cutting ability after 5 cycles. After no cutting ability, pomegranate sand can also be recycled and applied to the construction industry as a cement additive.
At present, the international price of garnet is in the middle price range. Because the performance and other aspects are much higher than that of slag abrasives, and the price is much lower than that of high-value abrasives, garnet abrasives are extremely cost-effective. Pomegranate sand is widely favored by the international abrasive blasting industry due to its superior performance and affordable price.
