Non-Toxic Soil Thickeners For Reducing Mudslide Intensity, Mitchell William Jensen
Non-Toxic Soil Thickeners For Reducing Mudslide Intensity, Mitchell William Jensen
Materials Engineering
This project was intended to be a continuation of senior project work done last year by a group consisting of two Materials Engineering students and a Soil Science student. Their report was crucial in identifying a range of food thickeners that could be capable of performing in the mud thickening application. All thickeners that were chosen both this year and last year are biocompatible, to alleviate some toxicity concerns. The food thickeners all belong to a class of compounds known as colloids. Since water is the fluid being thickened, these compounds are more accurately referred to as hydrocolloids. Hydrocolloids are …
