Systems and methods are disclosed for landfill systems, comprising waste, a geosynthetic product, and a layer of foam glass aggregates interposed between the waste and the geosynthetic product.

The present invention provides a porous non-metallic material including a material body, the material body is composed of pore cavities and cavity walls formed by surrounding the pore cavities in three-dimensional space. The pore cavities are uniformly distributed, and each pore cavity is three-dimensionally interconnected. The pore cavities are uniformly distributed means that the pore cavities are uniformly distributed under any unit-level volume on the porous material. The present invention provides a specific and clear measurement method for pore cavities distribution uniformity of the porous material, that is, the pore distribution uniformity of the porous material and the hierarchical structure thereof is measured on the scale of the small unit-level volume. Such porous structure is highly uniform, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the properties of the porous material.

A lightweight modified filter material, a preparation method therefor and use thereof, the lightweight modified filter material being prepared from the following components in parts by mass: 75-100 parts of waste glass, 5-20 parts of a metal oxide modifier and 1-10 parts of a foamer. The lightweight modified filter material has the advantages of being lightweight, having large specific surface area, a high isoelectric point, porosity and the like, increasing the isoelectric point and service life of the filter material. The added metal oxide can be combined with SiO2 in the glass to form SiO-Me (Me metal ions) and enter the glass network.

A porous silicon composition, a porous alloy composition, or a porous silicon containing cermet composition, as defined herein. A method of making: the porous silicon composition; the porous alloy composition, or the porous silicon containing cermet composition, as defined herein. Also disclosed is an electrode, and an energy storage device incorporating the electrode and at least one of the disclosed compositions, as defined herein.

Systems and methods are disclosed for vaporization suppression. Vaporization suppression may include, for example, evaporation control and/or odor control. A layer of foam glass aggregates may be placed on a body of water. Bodies of water may include natural and man-made aqueous bodies (such as, for example, ponds, lakes, lagoons, reservoirs, tanks, pools, runoff areas, etc.). Water may include clean water, natural water, rainwater, runoff, industrial output, manure slurries, leachates, treatment effuse, etc.). When placed, the foam glass aggregates in contact with the water may have a first moisture constant. At equilibrium, the foam glass aggregates in contact with the water may have a second moisture content. The second moisture content may be greater than the first moisture content. The foam glass aggregates in contact with the water may have a bulk density at the second moisture content that is sufficient to maintain buoyancy at the surface of the body of water.

Provided is a radioactive microsphere including glass having a structure represented by a formula Ca.sub.3Si.sub.2O.sub.7 and yttrium oxide contained in the glass. The radioactive microsphere has sphericity of from 0.71 to 1, and is radioactive after being activated by neutron irradiation. A method for preparing a radioactive microsphere and a radioactive filler composition is further provided. The present disclosure can be used to treat tumor by delivering radioactive microspheres to the target tissue, and then radioactive microspheres are activated by neutrons to generate radiation. The radioactivity of microspheres disappears over time, and the microspheres were dissolved and absorbed by the bone tissue in the end.
