The Zeolite Exchange
| Division: | Engineering & Computing Sciences / None | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Chinook Country | | City: | Calgary, AB | | School: | Red Deer Lake School | | Abstract: | The Zeolite Exchange studied whether it would be possible to use zeolite to change the harmful chemical composition of shallow gas sludge and reduce its environmental impact. Zeolite effectively reduced the Sodium Adsorption Ratio to an acceptable level for soil structure and plant health. At 20% zeolite by weight, plant germination was not affected and plant growth was enhanced. |
