Bottom ash and slag containing hazardous substances (19 01 11)* are residues formed during combustion and metallurgical processes. These may contain heavy metals, salts, and other hazardous elements.
Proper hazardous waste management includes identification, classification by hazard level, and the creation of traceability systems.
Safe handling of hazardous waste requires:
- isolation from the environment
- dust suppression
- ongoing chemical monitoring
Environmental servicing for enterprises includes:
waste stream audits
environmental impact assessment
mapping of waste routes and volumes
Storage of hazardous waste requires sealed containers or concrete areas with drainage, shielding from precipitation.
Transportation of hazardous waste must comply with safety protocols: marked packaging, secure loading, and transport documents.
Processing of hazardous waste such as bottom ash may include stabilization, fractionation, and blending with inert additives.
Key risks include:
- release of toxic metals into soil and water
- fine particulate matter in dry slag
- cross-contamination during improper storage
Proper handling of hazardous waste involves trained personnel and specialized equipment.
Ongoing environmental servicing of enterprises ensures regulatory compliance and protection of ecosystems.
