BREAKING NEWS
Brazilian Graphene Institute Pioneers HDPE/Graphene Polymer Nanocomposites Used as Geogrids
Mackgraphe was stablished in 2012 in São Paulo, Brazil, by Instituto Presbiteriano Mackenzie (IPM), an educational institution founded in 1870. It is a research, development and innovation institute specialized in graphene and two-dimensional materials.
The field of action involves synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials and the development of nanotechnologies applied to various industry segments.

New Sludge Treatment System Using a Horizontal Drain Board with a Multi-Layer Geotextile Bag
In the invention, a sludge treatment technology adopting flocculation-horizontal drain board vacuum preloading combining multi-layer sealed geotextile bag is disclosed, which comprises sealed geotextile bags and a geomembrane for sludge grouting and filling. The sealed geotextile bag and the geomembrane have two splicing modes, one is to place a layer of geomembrane inside and close to the inner side of the sealed geomembrane; the other is to wrap and seal the outside of the geotextile with geomembrane. A horizontal drainage system for vacuum drainage is set inside the sealed geotextile bag, with one end of the horizontal drain board being connected to a vacuum drainage pipe, and the drainage pipe passes through the sealed geotextile bag via a flange and is connected to the vacuum pump used for pumping the water in the sealed geotextile bag. Sludge includes engineering waste mud, river sludge and industrial sludge. A horizontal drainage system is added inside the sealed geotextile bag and combining with flocculant for sludge dewatering, and the sealed geotextile bag can be stacked in several layers to form a stacking effect on the lower structure through the self weight of the upper layer, thus making the drainage effect faster and the dewatering efficiency higher.
