The difference between solid waste, hazardous waste and dangerous chemicals

Solid waste refers to solid, semi-solid and gaseous articles and materials in containers that have lost their original value or have not lost their value but have been discarded or abandoned in production, life and other activities, as well as articles and materials that are included in the management of solid wastes according to laws and administrative regulations, except for those that have been processed to be harmless and meet the mandatory national product quality standards, will not endanger public health and ecological safety, or are determined not to be solid wastes according to the solid waste identification standards and identification procedures.

Industrial solid waste is also generated during the production process of enterprises, such as tailings, gangue, waste rock and other mining solid wastes generated by mining enterprises, waste tires and rubber generated by the transportation manufacturing industry, waste paper generated by printing companies, scraps and leather edges generated by the clothing processing industry, etc.

Hazardous waste refers to solid waste that is listed in the national hazardous waste list or is identified as having hazardous characteristics according to the national hazardous waste identification standards and identification methods. Hazardous waste is solid waste.

How to store and manage hazardous waste? Hazardous waste is different from general solid waste and has certain dangers. Therefore, it is necessary to implement key control and strict management of hazardous waste. The prevention and control of environmental pollution caused by hazardous waste includes the production, storage, transportation, utilization and disposal of hazardous waste. It is necessary to adopt the principle of "appropriate treatment according to waste and classified control" according to its characteristics.

Choose the outdoor chemical storage container of ZOYET brand: high-quality hazardous chemical storage cabinets have European explosion-proof certification, use anti-leakage tray system, and have strong anti-liquid leakage function. In terms of safety factor, environmental protection effect, intelligent control, etc.,ZOYET environmentally friendly outdoor chemical storage cabinets are used for temporary storage of waste liquid in universities, automobiles and related enterprises, new energy industries, etc.

Hazardous wastes are classified into different categories according to their hazardous characteristics, such as toxicity (including acute toxicity, leaching toxicity, etc.), flammability, corrosiveness, infectiousness, reactivity, etc. Therefore, for different types of hazardous wastes, it is necessary to implement pollution prevention and control requirements suitable for their characteristics and adopt different pollution prevention and control measures according to their characteristics, that is, adopt the pollution prevention and control principle of "adapting measures to wastes and controlling by category". If the same pollution prevention and control measures are adopted for various types of hazardous wastes with different properties, not only will the pollution not be effectively controlled, but it may also expand or aggravate the pollution hazards.

Hazardous chemicals refer to highly toxic chemicals and other chemicals that have properties such as toxicity, corrosion, explosion, combustion, and combustion-supporting properties, and are harmful to the human body, facilities, and the environment.

Every link of the production, storage, use, operation and transportation of hazardous chemicals cannot be taken lightly, which requires the relevant departments implementing safety supervision and management to assume their respective responsibilities.

The production safety supervision and management department is responsible for the comprehensive work of safety supervision and management of hazardous chemicals, organizes the determination, publication and adjustment of the hazardous chemicals catalog, conducts safety condition review for new, rebuilt and expanded production and storage of hazardous chemicals (including the use of long-distance pipelines to transport hazardous chemicals), issues hazardous chemical safety production licenses, hazardous chemical safety use licenses and hazardous chemical business licenses, and is responsible for the registration of hazardous chemicals.

Laboratory waste is generally flammable, explosive, and toxic. Its storage before destruction or recycling is very important. If flammable and hazardous chemicals lack a safe storage environment, it is very easy to cause fire or leakage of toxic chemicals, endangering people's lives and property. Therefore, correct temporary storage and classified temporary storage of waste liquids are particularly important.

Dangerous chemicals are generally flammable and explosive and should not be stored in open air or humid or waterlogged warehouses. They should be classified, zoned, and stored in separate warehouses according to their characteristics. After storage, they should be inspected regularly during the storage period and records should be kept. If quality changes, packaging damage, leakage, or stabilizer shortages are found, they should be handled promptly and the temperature and humidity of the warehouse should be strictly controlled.

Walk-in hazardous chemicals temporary storage containers are used for dispersed storage of chemicals for different purposes; different storage areas can be flexibly combined. Chemicals should be stored in appropriate containers and storage locations according to their chemical properties, stored in closed containers, not mixed, marked with chemical types and storage time, and inspected regularly.
