TYPES OF WASTES
SOURCES OF WASTES
*Domestic wastes
*Commercial wastes
meat remnants
*Ashes
*Animal Wastes
- rejected feed
- Eg)dung of animals
*Biomedical Wastes
*Construction Wastes
- Eg) metal
rods, bricks, cement, concrete, roofing
materials
- digging activities Eg) telephone,
electricity, drainage
-Eg) garment
factory would dump textiles of various
kinds
*Sewer
*Hazardous wastes
- potentially
dangerous
- react explosively with air or water
- Change in the genetic structure of individuals
*E
Waste
- electronics disposed
*Nuclear waste
- containing radioactive
material
environment
Affects our climate
Rise in global temperatures
Rise in sea levels
Incineration
Requires minimum land
Can be operated in any weather
Recycling methods
a) Biological
reprocessing
b) Energy recovery
i)Pyrolysis
ii)Gasification
Key to providing a livable
environment for the future
Expensive
Some wastes cannot be recycled
Technological push needed
Practical Issues
Lack of awareness
Unplanned growth and development of cities
Land availabilty
Un sorted waste. mixture of bio-degradable
Bio-Methanation
Process
Materials that are organic in nature, such as
plant material, food scraps
convert starch or sugary agricultural feed
stock into a methane rich gas mixture
three stages, namely, hydrolysis, acid-genesis
and methane formation
Process is very slow
Installing is expensive.
Suggestions
Improve product design to use less materials.
use biodegradable materials
maintenance of cleanliness in yards and streets
At Source Treatment, Separation of materials
