Used activated carbon for cleaning flue gases

Used activated carbon, which remains after flue gas cleaning, is a significant environmental problem. This toxic material can have serious effects on the environment and human health if not handled properly. Activated carbon, which is used to clean flue gases, performs an important function of filtering harmful substances, but at the end of its life cycle it becomes a hazardous waste.

The problem with used activated carbon is that it contains high concentrations of toxic substances such as heavy metals, organic pollutants and other harmful compounds. These substances can enter the soil, water resources and atmosphere, causing irreparable damage to ecosystems. Methods of ecological management of hazardous waste of spent activated carbon from flue gas treatment (cleaning) are critically important for minimizing this damage.

Another significant problem is the large amount of used activated carbon produced by industrial processes. Every year, the global industry produces thousands of tons of this material, which needs proper disposal. Operations for collection, sorting, crushing and processing of hazardous waste activated carbon from flue gas treatment (cleaning) require significant resources and efforts to ensure safety and efficiency.

Proper management of hazardous waste of spent activated carbon from flue gas treatment (purification) includes a set of measures covering all stages of waste treatment - from collection and transportation to final treatment. It is important that each of these stages is carried out in accordance with strict environmental standards to prevent the release of toxic substances into the environment.

To reduce the harm from used activated carbon, it is necessary to implement a set of measures aimed at minimizing the impact of toxic substances on the environment and human health. This includes the use of the latest technologies and processing methods, as well as the implementation of environmental management systems.

• Implementation of advanced technologies: the use of modern technologies for the collection, processing (D10) and storage of used activated carbon (D15) can significantly reduce its negative impact;
• Environmental management: implementation of environmental management systems that ensure proper monitoring and control over waste treatment;
• Remediation: restoration of contaminated areas and implementation of measures to reduce the impact on the environment.

It is also important to raise public awareness of the need for proper management of hazardous waste. Educational programs and campaigns can help change attitudes to the problem and stimulate the implementation of environmentally safe practices.
