Study Notes
Hazardous Waste Management
- The first step in hazardous waste management is identification and characterization of waste.
Preferable System of Waste Management
- The preferable system of waste management is a hierarchical approach, with waste minimization and recycling as the top priority, followed by treatment, and disposal as the last option.
Removal vs Destruction in Hazardous Waste Management
- Removal rather than destruction in hazardous waste management is achieved through segregation, which involves separating hazardous waste from non-hazardous waste.
Handling and Managing Hazardous Wastes
- Activities that need to be addressed while handling and managing hazardous wastes include identification, segregation, packaging, labeling, transportation, and storage.
Technology for Hazardous Waste Management
- The technology used for hazardous waste management to separate constituents in a waste stream is separation and sorting.
