Key Benefits of GCC in Environmental Applications
-
Neutralizes acidic wastewater: Effectively balances pH in industrial effluent treatment.
-
Removes heavy metals & contaminants: GCC helps precipitate impurities, ensuring cleaner water.
-
Captures SO₂ & acid gases: Used in flue gas desulfurization (FGD) to reduce sulfur emissions.
-
Reduces harmful particulate matter: Enhances air quality in industrial exhaust systems.
-
Improves soil pH balance: Reduces acidity, enhancing agricultural productivity and reforestation efforts.
-
Stabilizes contaminated sites: Helps bind heavy metals, reducing soil toxicity.
-
Use 10 μm GSS as a coarser particle size is more effective for long term soil conditioning.
-
Enhances landfill stability: Reduces leachate formation and stabilizes waste materials.
-
Improves plastic recycling processes: Used as a filler to enhance mechanical properties in recycled plastics.
-
Natural & non-toxic: Supports sustainable environmental initiatives with a low ecological footprint.
-
Reduces reliance on chemical treatments: Provides a greener alternative for pollution control.

Applications of GCC in Environmental Protection
-
Used for pH regulation and removal of heavy metals in wastewater treatment plants.
-
Improves water clarity and reduces acidity, protecting aquatic ecosystems.
-
GCC Grades 5 μm and 10 μm allow efficient dissolution and pollutant binding.
-
Removes sulfur oxides (SO₂) and other acid gases from industrial emissions.
-
Reduces particulate emissions, enhancing air quality.
-
The high surface area of GCC grades with 2 μm and 5 μm ensure effective gas absorption.
-
Restores soil balance by neutralizing excess acidity.
-
Reduces heavy metal contamination, making land safer for cultivation.
-
Coarser GCC with larger particles of 10 μm provide gradual release and long-term soil stabilization.
-
Enhances landfill capping systems to prevent environmental leakage.
-
Reduces leachate contamination, minimizing groundwater pollution.
-
The binding properties of the 3 μm and 5 μm GCC grades improve landfill stability.
-
Improves mechanical properties of recycled plastics, making them more durable.
-
Reduces carbon footprint by enabling more sustainable material reuse.
-
3 μm and 5 μm GCC grades optimise filler performance in recycled polymer applications.
