Hazardous substances in flue gas dust

Flue gas dust containing dangerous substances is one of the biggest environmental problems of the modern world. Emissions of flue gases occur as a result of the activities of many industrial enterprises, such as power plants, metallurgical plants, cement factories and others. Combustion of coal, oil, gas and other types of fuel leads to the formation of a large amount of dust, which contains heavy metals, toxic organic compounds and other harmful substances. These substances enter the atmosphere and can spread over long distances, settling on the earth's surface and penetrating into water and soil.

The main components of flue gas dust include elements such as lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, dioxins, furans and other toxic substances. All these components can have serious consequences for the environment and human health. Lead, for example, is a highly toxic element that can cause neurological disorders and other serious illnesses. Mercury is also extremely dangerous, as it can accumulate in the body and cause severe poisoning.

In addition, flue gas dust contains a large number of small particles that can penetrate the lungs and cause various respiratory diseases. These particles can also adsorb other toxic substances on their surface, increasing their danger. In general, the problem of flue gas dust is complex and requires careful study and implementation of effective methods of combating it.

Flue gas dust containing hazardous substances. Code according to the National list of waste 10 03 19*, 10 08 15*, 10 09 09*, 10 10 09*. Operations in accordance with Annexes 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" D10, D9.

There are several methods of reducing the damage from flue gas dust containing hazardous substances. The main approaches include environmental management, the use of modern technologies and the strengthening of legislative norms.

The main methods of environmental management of hazardous waste from flue gas dust include:

• use of filters and other technologies to reduce dust emissions: modern technologies make it possible to significantly reduce the amount of dust released into the atmosphere during fuel combustion. Filters, electrostatic precipitators, cyclone separators and other gas cleaning systems can effectively trap small dust particles, reducing their emissions;
• implementation of air quality monitoring and emission control systems: regular monitoring of air quality makes it possible to timely detect pollution norm exceedances and take necessary measures to reduce emissions. Emission control systems allow enterprises to quickly respond to changes in production processes and ensure compliance with environmental standards;
• increasing the burning efficiency (D10) of fuel and reducing the amount of dust generated: improvement of fuel burning technologies allows to reduce the amount of dust and toxic substances generated. The use of more efficient fuel systems, optimization of combustion processes and the introduction of new combustion methods can significantly reduce dust emissions;
• application of methods of reducing the toxicity of dust through its chemical treatment (D9): some methods of dust treatment allow to reduce its toxicity through chemical reactions that transform hazardous substances into less harmful forms. This may include neutralization of acidic compounds, oxidation of organic substances and other chemical processes;
• implementation of environmental standards and norms at enterprises that emit flue gases: the establishment of strict environmental standards and norms allows to ensure that enterprises comply with the requirements for reducing emissions of dust and other pollutants. This may include restrictions on the use of certain types of fuel, the implementation of mandatory gas purification measures and other environmental management measures.

In addition, it is important to ensure proper management of hazardous waste from flue gas dust. This includes operations for the collection, sorting, crushing and treatment of hazardous waste, as well as its safe transportation. Proper waste management allows you to minimize their negative impact on the environment and human health, ensuring their safe storage and processing.
