SARASOTA, Fla.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Global Technologies Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets:GTGP) has received the following report from MSE Technologies Applications, Inc. on the procedures and progress update on dual use treatability of contaminated soils with MBS and M2 Polymer technologies.

Soil Preparation

Obtain soil samples from MSE soil stockpile; dry and roll the soil and then run Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) analysis to determine the baseline soil contaminants. After receiving results for baseline soil TCLP spike soil with lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium, arsenic, silver, barium, and selenium (the 8 RCRA metals normally checked during TCLP) at 10 times the TCLP RCRA limit. After adding the spike chemicals, roll the soil sample overnight to ensure the spike chemicals are thoroughly mixed into the soil matrix (will adjust soil moisture content to ensure chemical mixing is homogenous). Run spike soil baseline TCLP to determine the actual leachable chemical concentrations of the surrogate soil before testing begins and moisture content testing to confirm baseline soil moisture content.

Single Treatment Testing

Weigh out four 200 gram samples and adjust soil moisture content to 30% for two samples and 40% for the remaining two samples. Treat one of the 30% moisture content samples using Waste Lock 770 at 0.5% by weight and the 40% soil moisture content sample using 1% by weight. Treat the remaining two samples using 5 weight % MBS for the 30% moisture content soil and 10 wt% MBS for the 40% moisture content sample. Run TCLP for the four samples to determine the effectiveness of each of the treatment agents to tie up the contaminants of concern.

Dual Treatment Testing

Review TCLP data to determine effectiveness of single treatment applications to determine Waste Lock 770 and MBS treatment concentrations for dual treatment applications. Sample 1 will be adjusted to 30% moisture content and the appropriate MBS treatment amount will be added to the sample and allowed to bind the metals in the surrogate soil before the Waste Lock 770 is added to tie up the moisture in the soil. Sample 2 will be adjusted to 30% moisture content and both the MBS and Waste Lock 770 will be added to the sample simultaneously to determine if metals treatment and dewatering can be accomplished in one treatment application. The two samples will be sent to the laboratory for TCLP analysis to determine how effective dual treatment methods are for binding the TCLP metals. After reviewing TCLP data from Samples 1 and 2, additional samples will be generated at either the 30% or 40% moisture content to determine optimum treatment concentrations and confirm addition techniques.

Progress to Date

The baseline soil sample and the spiked baseline soil sample have been submitted for TCLP as well as the first 4 single treatment samples.TCLP data should be available in February 2011 to determine how well each application can tie up the 8 RCRA metals that were used to spike the surrogate soil.After TCLP results have been analyzed, the dual treatment will be initiated.

aOur companies are confident that the verification of the dual use formulation will enable both companies to penetrate a substantial government and private sector market which will uniquely enable us to take advantage of the combined technologies for major Governmental and private companies remediation projects and enable each company to expand their penetration of both heavy metal and de watering cleanup capabilities,a said James Fallacaro, President.
