Is industrial solid waste activated carbon waste a general solid waste?
Whether activated carbon waste is a general solid waste needs to be determined on a case-by-case basis.
First of all, activated carbon is a porous carbon-containing substance with a highly developed pore structure, which makes it have excellent adsorption properties and can be widely used in water treatment, purification, desulfurization, deodorization and other fields. Due to the wide application of activated carbon, the amount of activated carbon waste generated is also relatively large.
Secondly, according to the regulations of the national environmental protection department, general solid waste refers to solid substances that have no use value or are discarded in production, life and other activities, such as waste plastics, waste paper, scrap metal, etc. Although activated carbon waste is a solid substance, its waste is not equivalent to general solid waste due to its excellent adsorption performance and wide application prospects.
In addition, the treatment and disposal of activated carbon waste also needs to be determined on a case-by-case basis. Generally speaking, the treatment methods of activated carbon waste include physical, chemical and biological methods, such as crushing, incineration, oxidation, etc. For activated carbon waste that can be reused, it can be recycled; For activated carbon waste that cannot be regenerated, it can be safely landfilled or incinerated.
To sum up, whether activated carbon waste is general solid waste needs to be determined on a case-by-case basis. If activated carbon waste can be recycled or has other application value, it does not belong to general solid waste; If the activated carbon waste has no reuse value or is discarded, it is a general solid waste. When dealing with and disposing of activated carbon waste, it is necessary to choose the appropriate treatment method and disposal method according to the specific situation to avoid adverse effects on the environment.
