10 01 14* Bottom ash, slag and boiler dust from co-incineration containing hazardous substances
The problem of hazardous waste generated during co-incineration is becoming more and more urgent. Bottom ash, slag and boiler dust from this process contain various hazardous substances that pose a serious threat to the environment and human health. In this regard, the management of such waste is an extremely important task for modern society.
Combined combustion of different types of fuel leads to the formation of a significant amount of waste, among which bottom ash, slag and boiler dust stand out. These wastes contain heavy metals, radioactive elements, dioxins and other toxic compounds that can cause significant damage to the environment and human health.
Methods of environmental management of hazardous waste bottom ash, slag and boiler dust from co-incineration containing hazardous substances require special attention. It is necessary to develop effective technologies for the collection, processing and transportation of such waste in order to minimize their impact on the environment and public health.
Negative impact on the environment
Hazardous waste produced by co-incineration has several negative effects on the environment. The main ones include:
- pollution of soils with heavy metals and other toxic substances;
- pollution of water resources due to the ingress of waste into groundwater and surface water bodies;
- emissions of toxic substances into the atmosphere, which contribute to the formation of acid rain and air pollution;
- accumulation of waste at landfills, which occupy large areas and create a risk of leakage of hazardous substances into the environment.
Soil pollution is one of the most serious problems associated with the hazardous waste of bottom ash, slag and boiler dust. Heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury and others can accumulate in soils, leading to land degradation and reduced fertility. This, in turn, has a negative impact on agriculture, reducing the yield and quality of agricultural products.
The impact on water resources is another important issue. Hazardous waste can enter groundwater and surface water bodies, which leads to their pollution. Heavy metals and toxic compounds can enter aquatic ecosystems, where they affect aquatic organisms, disrupting the biological balance and causing the death of fish and other aquatic animals.
Emissions of toxic substances into the atmosphere during combustion are also a serious problem. These substances can cause the formation of acid rain, which destroys buildings, plants and soils. Air pollution also affects people's health, causing respiratory diseases and worsening the quality of life.
The accumulation of waste in landfills creates additional problems. Landfills occupy large areas that could be used for other purposes, such as construction or agriculture. In addition, landfills pose a risk of leakage of hazardous substances into the environment, which can lead to long-term contamination of soil and water resources.
Pity for people
The impact of hazardous waste from co-incineration on human health is multifaceted and very serious. The main risks include:
- deterioration of air quality, which leads to an increase in cases of respiratory diseases;
- entry of heavy metals and other toxic substances into the body through contaminated water and food;
- increasing the risk of cancer due to exposure to radioactive and carcinogenic substances;
- harmful effect on the nervous system, which can lead to various neurological disorders.
Bottom ash, slag and boiler dust from co-incineration containing hazardous substances. Code according to the National list of waste 10 01 14*. Operations in accordance with Annexes 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine “On Waste Management” D13, R12.
Ways to reduce harm
In order to reduce the harm from hazardous waste bottom ash, slag and boiler dust from co-incineration, it is necessary to apply a comprehensive approach that includes various methods of environmental management (R12). The main measures include:
- implementation of modern technologies of collection, sorting, crushing and processing of hazardous waste (D13);
- creation of effective hazardous waste transportation systems that ensure minimization of leakage and environmental pollution risks;
- implementation of environmental monitoring and control systems, which allows timely detection and elimination of problems related to hazardous waste;
- development and implementation of methods of safe storage and processing of hazardous waste, allowing to minimize their impact on the environment and human health;
- increasing the awareness of the population and workers about the dangers associated with hazardous waste and methods of their minimization;
- implementation of state and international standards and regulations on hazardous waste management, which ensures consistency of management approaches and methods;
- development of financial support programs for enterprises engaged in processing and disposal of hazardous waste, which stimulates the introduction of new technologies and approaches;
- use of innovative technologies, such as plasma installations, for the processing of hazardous waste, which allow to significantly reduce the amount and toxicity of waste.
