Use of fine minerals in the remediation of nonbiodegradable plastics and remediation of soils contaminated with non biodegradable plastics

摘要

The disclosed invention describes a novel method of converting non biodegradable plastics to biodegradable plastics utilizing fine minerals derived from coal and / or coal waste (by-products of coal purification).Fine minerals may also be based on volcanic basalt, glacial rock dust deposit, iron potassium silicate and other seabed deposits.By converting non biodegradable plastic into biodegradable plastic in soil, the transition metal released as a result of biodegradation of biodegradable plastics further increases the availability of nutrients in the soil.
