In the modern industrial production process, environmental protection has become an important issue that cannot be ignored. Industrial waste, namely wastewater, waste gas and solid waste, are the main pollutants produced in the industrial production. Improper treatment of industrial waste poses a serious threat to the environment and human health. This article will introduce the composition and hazards of these industrial wastes in detail.
Industrial Wastewater
Industrial wastewater is the waste liquid discharged by industrial enterprises during the production process. Its composition varies depending on the industry and production process.
Composition
- Organic Pollutants: benzene, toluene, phenols, alcohols and organic acids, etc.
- Inorganic Pollutants: heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium, etc.), cyanide, sulfide and acid-base substances.
- Suspended Matter: silt, fiber and metal chips, etc.
- Nutrients: nitrogen, phosphorus, etc.
Hazards
- Water Pollution: Direct discharge of industrial wastewater will pollute rivers, lakes and oceans. This destroys the aquatic ecosystem.
- Health Threats: Pollutants enter the human body through drinking water, food chain and other channels. This affects human health.
- Eutrophication: Nutrients in wastewater can cause eutrophication of water bodies. This will lead to excessive reproduction of algae and lack of oxygen in the water, thus affecting the survival of other aquatic organisms.
Industrial Waste Gas
Industrial waste gas is harmful gas emitted during industrial production. These gases mostly come from combustion processes, chemical reactions and material handling.
Composition
- Acidic Gases: sulfur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) and hydrogen chloride (HCl).
- Alkaline Gases: ammonia (NH₃).
- Organic Pollutants: volatile organic compounds (VOCs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and dioxins.
- Particles: dust, smoke and droplets.
- Greenhouse Gases: carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄).
Hazards
- Air Pollution: Harmful gases and particulate matter can lead to deterioration of air quality and environmental problems such as haze and acid rain.
- Ecological Hazards: Acidic gas deposition can lead to acidification of soil and water bodies. This affects plant growth and the survival of aquatic organisms.
- Human Health: Long-term inhalation of pollutants can lead to respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and even cancer.
Industrial Solid Waste
Various industrial production activities lead to complex solid waste components. Some wastes are even classified as hazardous wastes.
Composition
- Inorganic waste: metal oxides, metal salts, minerals.
- Organic waste: hydrocarbon compounds, grease, polymers, biomass residues.
- Granular waste: sand, gravel, granular metal.
Hazards
- Land Occupation: Solid waste occupies a large amount of land. This affects the rational use of land resources.
- Soil Pollution: Heavy metals and harmful substances contained in solid waste will seep into the soil. This affects soil quality and plant growth.
- Water Pollution: Solid waste is washed by rainwater, and pollutants enter groundwater and surface water. This affects water quality.
Beston Group in Action
As a leader in the environmental protection industry, Beston Group is committed to the research and development of equipment that meet strict industrial waste treatment implementation standards. Therefore, our equipment can ensure the safe treatment of wastewater, waste gas and solid waste.
Wastewater Treatment
- In order to save water resources to the greatest extent, the water resources used by the equipment are reused repeatedly. Wastewater discharge meets the standards.
- Three-stage sedimentation technology is used for sewage treatment. Sedimentation sludge is treated as a resource to achieve zero discharge.
Waste gas Treatment
- During the production process, there are special facilities to cool and remove dust from exhaust gases. Thus, the discharged waste gas meets environmental protection standards.
- In order to further reduce the impact of waste gas on the environment, we provide high-end tail gas treatment equipment. The waste gas treated by this equipment meets EU emission standards.
Solid Waste Treatment
- The pyrolysis equipment produces solid waste when treating industrial waste. However, after the pyrolysis process, these solid wastes have become harmless.
- These treated solid wastes can be used as resources, such as building materials or other industrial raw materials.
Create Green Future Together
The treatment of industrial waste is an important part of environmental protection. Industrial production and environmental protection are not contradictory. As long as every industrial enterprise should assume the responsibility of environmental protection, we can achieve balanced development of the two. Beston Group effectively reduces the discharge of industrial waste through technological innovation and strict management measures.
