Question 36: Suggest suitable mechanism (s) for waste management in fertiliser industries.
Answer:
Some chemicals and gaseous pollutants affect the environment produced in the fertilizer industry. Some waste management mechanisms in fertilizer industries are as follows:-
1. Incineration:- It is the waste treatment process which involves the combustion of the organic substances in the waste material by treating them with the high temperature, also known as thermal treatment. It converts the waste material into the ash and heat.
2. Proper disposal:- Proper management of waste is important for the building to be sustainable etc.
3. Recycling:- this results in recycling of the old items for the next specific use. These old items are proceeded to recover and convert them into energy in the form of usable heat, fuel or electricity.
4. Reduction:- By reducing the amount of waste and it can occur through recycling the old items like jars, bags, plastic bottles etc. instead of buying the new ones. Or by reducing the use of single use plastic.
5. Composting:- It is a bio degradation process which takes up the leftover plant parts, garden or kitchen waste and converts them into the nutrient – rich which improves the soil fertility.
6. Landfills:- By throwing daily waste of the household and the others in the landfills is the most widely used mechanism. This mechanism focuses on burying the waste in the land instead of throwing them into the water bodies (leads to the water pollution).
7. To control the air pollution chimneys are used as the absorption equipment which absorb harmful pollutants before the release of gases into the atmosphere.
The waste management leads to a better and disease free environment. It also contributes to the well- beings of the living organisms. It reduces the pollution and recycling process helps to conserve the energy. Example when we recycle the old papers into the new ones, through this we are ultimately saving the trees from cutting down.
