Filter cakes (solid residues) from gas treatment (19 01 05)* are collected from filtration systems and contain pollutants like heavy metals, dioxins, and acidic substances.
Hazardous waste management requires identifying the composition and classifying the material based on toxicity.
Handling of hazardous waste must prevent environmental exposure, especially with moist or semi-solid materials.
Environmental servicing for enterprises involves:
- monitoring accumulation rates
- evaluating filtration efficiency
- auditing storage and safety compliance
Storage of hazardous waste must use leak-proof, chemically resistant containers with secondary containment systems.
Transportation of hazardous waste may involve sealed containers or flexible bulk bags, with vibration and temperature control.
Processing of hazardous waste can include drying, stabilization, or encapsulation before disposal or use in industry.
Major risks include:
- presence of carcinogens and heavy metals
- dust release from dried cakes
- container corrosion and leakage
Proper handling of hazardous waste depends on regulation, trained staff, and technical oversight.
Consistent environmental servicing of enterprises ensures legal compliance and minimizes ecological harm.
