Special wastes

Special wastes. Wastes such as street sweepings, roadside litter, catch-basin debris, dead animals, and abandoned vehicles are classified as special wastes. 

Landfill-operation plan. The layout of the site and the development of a workable operating schedule are the main features of a landfill-operation plan. In planning the layout of a landfill site, the location of the following must be determined (1) access roads (2) equipment shelters (3) scales, if used (4) storage sites for special wastes (5) topsoil-stockpile sites (6) landfill areas and (7) plantings. 

HAZARDOUS WASTE An Unofficial class of industrial wastes which have to be disposed of with particular care. In the UK the closest definition is for special wastes . Certain toxic organic wastes, such as PCBs, have to be burned in high-temperature incinerators. 

SPECIAL WASTE Controlled waste which is subject to special regulations regarding its control and disposal because of its difficult or dangerous characteristics. The UK definition of special waste is similar, but not identical, to the EC s hazardous waste.

Extra duties are imposed on the producers of Special Waste , i.e. a waste that is on the European Hazardous Waste list reproduced in Table 17.6 and if it has one or more of the hazardous properties listed in Table 17.7 (reproduced from Part 2 of Schedule 2 of the Special Waste Regulations, 1996). Also Special Waste is any Controlled Waste which has one of the listed properties. Extra requirements are detailed for the safe transfer and management of such waste.

The disposal of waste oils is largely governed in the UK by the EPA 90. Waste oils are a Special Waste covered by Special Waste Regulations. Establishments handling more than 500 litres per annum have a duty to maintain records. There are also requirements for record keeping where waste oils contain toxic impurities and so become Special Waste .

The crude gas, which will contain some carbon particles, leaves the reactor at approximately 1300°C and passes immediately into a special waste-heat boiler where steam at 600 psig (4140 kN/m2 gauge) is generated. The crude gas leaves the waste heat boiler at 250°C and is further cooled to 50°C by direct quenching with water, which also serves to remove the carbon as a suspension. The analysis of the quenched crude gas is as follows ...

At present most of the pesticide and fertilizer storehouses are in a very bad condition. None of them answer to environmental and sanitary demands. Transportation, usage, distribution and storage of chemicals are not regulated. Hazardous chemicals are in sale everywhere - in the market, on the roads, in the boxes with food products, often without labeling. It is impossible to control chemicals. There is not a special waste disposal. 

Transfer the gel in a UV chamber carefully (as ethidium bromide is carcinogen, use two pairs of nitrile rubber gloves and be careful to prevent any contamination deposit the buffer containing ethidium bromide in a special waste bottle). 

The example of the textile chain demonstrates (i) how much the techni-cal/aesthetic quality of products and chemicals-related product security are interdependent and (ii) what requirements exist for a quality management system beyond the supply chain level. Only the major brands can take this initiative on a global scale. For cosmetic, medical devices and food products, as well as technical products with high safety requirements (such as aircraft), management systems beyond supply chain level have now become a matter of survival. The same holds true for products that are subject to special waste and design regulations in Europe (such as automotive vehicles and electronic equipment).

Figure Thirteen (13) illustrates the specific components of the entire system. Because the manufacturing process involves heavy metals plating, the contaminated rinse water contains some hazardous materials, thereby requiring special waste treatment considerations.

Waste containing lead and lead chromate that cannot be recycled must be taken to a special waste disposal site under proper control. 

Normally, under acidic conditions (pH < 4) the direct pathway dominates, above pH = 10 it changes to the indirect. In ground and surface waters (pH = 7) both pathways - direct and indirect - can be of importance (Staehelin and Hoigne, 1983 a). In special waste waters even at pH = 2 the indirect oxidation can be of importance, depending much on the contaminants present (Beltran et al., 1994). Both pathways should always be considered when developing a treatment scheme. 

The management of scrap tires has become a growing problem in recent years. Scrap tires represent one of several special wastes that are difficult for municipalities to handle. Whole tires are difficult to landfill because they tend to float to the surface. Stockpiles of scrap tires are located in many communities, resulting in public health, environmental, and aesthetic problems. 

When no use can be found for the ash, then this need to be landfilled as a special waste or sometimes (if it does not comply with the toxicity leaching tests) as a dangerous waste. Clearly, its landfill disposal, particularly if it is labeled as a dangerous waste, poses environmental and economical issues, linked to the risk of leaching and to the sensible increases of the overall cost of MSW management.
