Through the testing and analysis of contaminants in wastewater before and after blasting in highway tunnel construction, it has been found that the major overproof indexes are its pH and SS, besides some tiny amount of toxic substances. Tests show that this type of wastewater has a phenomenon of self purification, which comes from the use of shot concrete. This phenomenon was further verified in experiments. Hence the research is helpful for the study on the treatment techniques of wastewater in tunneling.
