Industrial Waste Management in India

Methods of Industrial Waste Disposal Management:

• Immobilization - Immobilization/ thermoplastic binding is the physical method/ technique used for the stopping, solidification or stabilizing of the free movement of contaminants in waste produced by industries.
• Carbon Absorption Carbon absorption is the most commonly used method/ technique often used for the purification, concentration, or removal of a wide range of components for industrial wastewater management.
• Distillation - It is a thermal separation process used during vacuum distillation. It allows for separating impurities for industrial wastewater management through heating at approx. 85°C in a vacuum during the evaporation process.
• Grinding, Shredding, and Compacting - Grinding, shredding, and compacting are the methods used to break down the organic waste into smaller pieces and further facilitate it into fertilizers and safe composting used for crop/ food production.
• Use of Landfills - Landfills is the most common waste management method which used for dumping the non-compostable, non-hazardous, and non-recyclable wastes into landfills/ small areas and later buried int the earth. .
• NeutralizationNeutralization is a chemical method used for treating excessively acidic or alkaline waste streams with very high or low pH values.
• Equalization - Equalization is the most common method which retains the wastes in a basin to discharge the effluents in fairly uniform manner (i.e., according to pH, colour, turbidity, alkalinity, B.O.D), etc.
