Industrial Chemical Waste
In laboratories, chemical waste is usually segregated on-site into appropriate waste codes and disposed to meet safety, health, and legislative requirements.
Waste organic solvents are separated into chlorinated and non-chlorinated solvent waste. Chlorinated solvent waste is usually incinerated at high temperatures to minimize the formation of dioxins. Non-chlorinated solvent waste can be burned for energy recovery.
In contrast, chemical materials should not be washed down a drain. This list includes compounds with transitional metals, biocides, cyanides, mineral oils and hydrocarbons, poisonous organosilicon compounds, metal phosphides, phosphorus elements, and fluorides and nitrites.
The (EPA) prohibits disposing of certain materials down drains. This includes flammable liquids, liquids capable of causing damage to wastewater facilities (this can be determined by the pH, highly viscous materials capable of obstructing the wastewater system, radioactive materials, materials that have or create a strong odor, wastewater capable of significantly raising the temperature of the system, and pharmaceuticals or endocrine disruptors.
