Refractory and lining waste (code 16 11 03*) is classified as hazardous due to toxic compounds and heavy metals.
Proper hazardous waste management reduces environmental and health risks.
Key hazards include:
- contamination of soil and groundwater;
- emission of toxic dust and gases;
- long-term persistence of harmful substances;
- risks for workers during handling.
Effective handling of hazardous waste involves composition analysis, labeling, and safe processing technologies.
Environmental servicing of enterprises ensures audits, monitoring, and staff training.
Secure hazardous waste storage uses sealed containers and dedicated storage areas.
Safe hazardous waste transportation requires hermetic containers and strict compliance with transport rules.
Modern hazardous waste processing reduces toxicity and allows recovery of valuable components.
Examples:
- thermal treatment with gas filtration;
- chemical stabilization;
- reuse of inert fractions in construction.
Each enterprise must create tailored waste management strategies.
Training personnel helps minimize accidents and uncontrolled releases.
A comprehensive approach ensures ecological safety and strengthens corporate reputation.
