Sludge waste from gas cleaning processes

The problem of environmental pollution by waste from industrial enterprises is becoming more and more urgent in the modern world. One of the biggest threats is sludge from the purification of waste gases, which are formed during the production and burning of various materials. These wastes may contain hazardous chemical compounds that pose a serious threat to both the environment and human health. It is important to understand the scale of this problem and look for effective methods of solving it.

Sludges from waste gas treatment are solid and liquid wastes produced during industrial gas treatment processes. They can contain a wide range of chemicals, including heavy metals, organic pollutants and other hazardous components. These wastes can be generated at various stages of the production process, including:

• collection of dust and solid particles from gas streams;
• purification of gases from acid impurities;
• neutralization of toxic substances;
• removal of heavy metals and other dangerous elements.

The main problem of waste gas treatment sludges is their high toxicity and difficulty of neutralization. They may contain heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and mercury, as well as organic compounds with carcinogenic effects. Such waste requires special methods of environmental management to reduce their negative impact on the environment and human health.

Sludges from waste gas treatment are formed as a result of the activities of various industrial sectors, such as:

• metallurgical industry;
• chemical industry;
• energy;
• cement production;
• oil refining.

The metallurgical industry, for example, is one of the largest sources of waste gas treatment sludge. During the smelting of metals, large volumes of dust and gases containing dangerous components are formed. These gases pass through treatment systems where solid particles and chemical impurities are removed, forming sludge. Similar processes occur in other industries where high-temperature or chemical processes are used.

The lack of effective methods of managing hazardous waste sludge from waste gas treatment can lead to the accumulation of such waste on industrial sites, which creates additional risks for the environment and human health. Improper storage (D15) or handling of sludges can cause releases of hazardous substances into soil, water and air, which can have serious consequences.

In order to reduce the damage caused by waste gas treatment sludge, it is necessary to implement effective methods of environmental management of hazardous waste. Main routes include:

• implementation of modern industrial gas purification technologies;
• creating specialized systems for sludge collection and processing;
• use of methods of sorting, crushing and processing of hazardous waste (D13);
• organization of safe transportation of hazardous waste.

Modern technologies for cleaning industrial gases allow to reduce the amount of sludge produced and reduce their toxicity. Specialized sludge collection and processing systems allow for the effective neutralization of dangerous components, preventing their entry into the environment. The methods of sorting, crushing and processing hazardous waste sludge from waste gas purification help to reduce their volume and increase the efficiency of further management.

Sludges from exhaust gas cleaning. Code according to the National list of waste 19 11 07*. Operations in accordance with Annexes 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" D15, D13.
