Hazardous waste from flue gas cleaning

10 08 17* Sludges and filter cakes from flue gas cleaning containing hazardous substances

whyneed

Cleaning flue gases is an important process for reducing atmospheric air pollution. However, during this process waste is generated, in particular sludges and filter cakes containing hazardous substances. These wastes require special attention and proper management in order to minimize their negative impact on the environment and human health.

Sludges and filter cakes are the result of flue gas cleaning at enterprises in various industries, including metallurgy, chemical industry, and energy. These wastes contain heavy metals, organic pollutants, and other toxic substances that pose a threat to the environment and human health.

Various technologies are used in flue gas cleaning, including electrostatic filters, cyclone separators and wet scrubbers. All these technologies effectively remove pollutants from flue gases, but form sludges and filter cakes that require special handling.

Incorrect handling of such waste can lead to pollution of soil, water resources and atmospheric air. This can cause serious environmental problems and threaten the health of the population.

Sludges and filter cakes from cleaning flue gases containing hazardous substances. Code according to the National list of waste 10 08 17*. Operations in accordance with Annexes 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" D13.

A pity for the environment and people

howutilize

Sludges and filter cakes containing hazardous substances pose a serious threat to the environment. They may contain heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic, which are highly toxic and can enter soil and water resources, contaminating them.

Soil contamination with heavy metals leads to land degradation, reduced fertility and loss of biodiversity. Heavy metals can accumulate in plants, which later enter the food chain, posing a threat to human and animal health.

Organic contaminants that can be present in sludges and filter cakes can have carcinogenic and mutagenic properties. They can pollute water resources, leading to serious environmental consequences such as eutrophication and reduced drinking water quality.

  • pollution of soils with heavy metals;
  • reduction of land fertility;
  • loss of biodiversity;
  • accumulation of toxic substances in the food chain;
  • pollution of water resources;
  • deterioration of drinking water quality.

 

Pity for people

Dangerous substances contained in sludges and filter cakes can have serious consequences for human health. Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium can cause a variety of diseases, including cancer, nervous system disorders, and heart and blood vessel disease.

The respiratory tract is also at risk from inhalation of dust containing toxic substances. This can lead to the development of chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma, bronchitis and others.

Organic pollutants can cause allergic reactions, hormonal disorders and affect the reproductive system. Long-term contact with these substances can have a negative effect on the immune system and general health.

  • oncological diseases;
  • disruption of nervous system functions;
  • diseases of the heart and blood vessels;
  • chronic respiratory diseases;
  • allergic reactions;
  • hormonal disorders;
  • negative impact on the reproductive system;
  • weakening of the immune system.

Ways to reduce harm

whyneed

In order to reduce the negative impact of sludges and filter cakes on the environment and human health, it is necessary to apply complex approaches and effective methods of environmental management of hazardous waste sludges and filter cakes from cleaning flue gases containing hazardous substances.

One ​​of the main elements of such management is the collection, sorting, crushing and processing of hazardous waste sludge and filter cakes (D13). This allows you to reduce the amount of waste, improve its physical and chemical properties, and prepare it for further safe storage or processing.

Transportation of hazardous waste sludge and filter cakes also requires special attention. It is necessary to ensure safe transportation conditions to avoid spills or releases of hazardous substances into the environment.

  • use of modern technologies for waste collection and processing;
  • implementation of monitoring and control systems for waste management processes;
  • increasing the level of education and qualification of workers involved in hazardous waste management;
