HAZARDOUS WASTE

What are Hazardous Wastes?

• substances that are without any safe commercial,
industrial, agricultural or economic usage and are
shipped, transported or brought from the country of
origin for dumping or disposal into or in transit
through any part of the territory of the Philippines

• by-products, side-products, process residues, spent

reaction media, contaminated plant or equipment or
other substances from manufacturing operations and

present unreasonable risk and/or injury to
health and safety and to the environment
Any waste which by reason of any of
physical, chemical, reactive, toxic,
flammable, explosive or corrosive
characteristics causes danger or is likely to
cause danger to health or environment,
whether alone or when in contact with
other wastes or substances, and contact
with other wastes or substances.

in de greasing, metal treatment bath and
sludge, waste water from metal plating
operations and dioxins containing chemicals
or their precursor. Eg:- - Benzene - toluene

 TREATMENT OF HAZARDOUS WASTE

Physical treatment includes:

-Filtration and separation.

-Screening, sedimentation, adsorption,

centrifugation, stripping

-whenever a wastecontaining liquid and

solid must be treated.

Screening, sedimentation, adsorption,

De Waterring whenever a
wastecontaining liquid and solid must be
treated.
 TREATMENT OF HAZARDOUS WASTE
1.Filteration is the method for separating solid
particles from a liquid using a porous medium.the
application of filtration of treatment of hazardous
waste fall into the following categories

2.Clarification:-method in which suspended solid

particles are less than 100ppm and the aim is to
produce a clear aqueous effluent, which can be
discharged directly or further processed.

3.De watering:- in this method the slurry is

concentrated by the removal of liquids to form a
solid.
 TREATMENT OF HAZARDOUS WASTE
Chemical Treatment
1.Chemical Methods are:- Chemical precipitation.
Chemical oxidation and reduction
Neutralization
2.Toreduce the hazard of a particular waste
3.To make thecomplete breakdown of HW into non -
toxic form
 TREATMENT OF HAZARDOUS WASTE
Chemical oxidation and reduction

In these reactions the oxidation state of one reactant

is raised,while the other reactant is lowered.
Eg:- this kind of treatment is used for the waste of
1.Sulphide.
2.Cyanide.
3.Many organic wastes such as pesticides and
phenols.
 TREATMENT OF HAZARDOUS WASTE
Solidification and stabilization

1.Solidification is the process in which certain

materials are added that leads to the production of
solids.

2.Stabilization is the process by which a waste is

converted to more chemically stable form. It
involves the chemical reactions which transform
the toxic component to a new non-toxic compound.

 TREATMENT OF HAZARDOUS WASTE
Incineration
1.Able to aachieve 99.9% destruction and removal
efficiency to hazardous components in waste
2.Primary products are CO2,Vapour andAsh
3.Sulphur bearing waste gives off SO2,CO2,H2O
when incinerated
4.Byproducts are sometime more harmful
5.Two type of Incinerator
i.Liquid Injection
ii. Rotary Kins

 STPRAGE FACILITIES
Minimum Requirements for Hazardous Waste
Storage Facilities
a.It must be accessible in cases of emergency and
for purposes of inspection and monitoring;

b.The facility should be enclosed but adequately

ventilated;

c.The floors should be impermeable to liquids and

resistant to attack by chemicals, not slippery and
should be constructed so as to retain spillages;
 TREATMENT OF HAZARDOUS WASTE

a.The facility should be properly secured and not

easily accessed by unauthorized persons;

b.Drums should preferably be stored upright on

pallets and stacked no more than four (4) drums high;

c.Drums should be raised on pallets or similar

structures to allow passage of water and circulation
of air;
 TREATMENT OF HAZARDOUS WASTE

a.All containers should be checked regularly for leaks;

g.There should be segregation of acids from bases

and other hazardous wastes; and

•There should also be segregation of non-treated

from treated hazardous wastes.
 Labeling Requirements
Position of the label
attached to vessels,
containers, and tanks
1.The label shall be attached to the
side of the vessel, container,
and tank.

2.If the vessel, container, or

tank is used repeatedly, the label
can be a plate and hung on the
side of the vessel, container or
tank that stores hazardous wastes.
In case of a containment building, all The
types of hazardous wastes contained in
the building should be included in the
plate.
Symbols Accompanying the Label
 Packaging Requirements
Requirements for vessels,
containers, and tanks
1.be in good condition without
leaks or damage,
2.made from materials suitable for
the characteristics of the
hazardous waste to be stored,
•be equipped with a strong lid or
cap to prevent spillage during the
transport.
1. ensure that each vessel, container, or
tank contains either only one type of
waste or, when mixed, consist only of
types of wastes with similar or mutually
compatible characteristics (usually
within a hazardous waste sub-category);
2. for self-reacting hazardous wastes,
ensure that voids are not left in the
vessel, container, or tank;
3. tightly seal hazardous waste in the
vessel, container, or tank; and
4. ensure that the used vessel, container
and tank is cleaned before being reused
for storing the hazardous waste
incompatible with that previously stored.
