Предотвращение природных и техногенных катастроф путем использования опасных промышленных и бытовых отходов как ценного сырья с высокой экономической и экологической эффективностью

Since 1970 in Moscow State University (MGU) and after that in 2002, in the Federal (UFPR) and the Federal Technological Universities (UTFPR) of Curitiba (Brazil) have been conducting by the author of this article extensive research on the development of new methods (compositions and technologies) for the disposal of about 90 different types of industrial and municipal waste. The objectives of studies are: 1) Prevent natural and industrial disasters due to the irreversible destruction of natural links by numerous mining quarries and by dumps of all types of industrial, municipal, marine and ocean cleaning waste; 2) Use all of them as valuable raw materials and thus substitute natural raw materials (clay, sand, crushed stone, gravel, etc.); 3) Study the chemical interaction of the initial components and of the developed composite materials structure formation processes; 4) Chemically bind all heavy metals and other hazardous elements into insoluble sustainable compounds; 5) Achieve high mechanical and physical properties of materials with a maximum content of waste; 6) Increase economic efficiency of new composites from waste to make them most attractive for widespread use at an industrial level. All these goals achievement should improve the planet's inhabitants' life quality and should prevent the death of our civilization, predicted by the convincing calculations of S.W. Hawking.
