ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD ASSESSMENT OF SLAG WASTE OF THE HEAT-AND-POWER PLANTS

Language: Ukrainian

Abstract. Problem of waste handling in the fuel and energy complex enterprises is considered. Attention is focused on volumes of the ash and slag formation in the Ukrainian heat-and-power stations, as well as on areas alienated for the dumps. Ecological consequences of the waste storage on the earth's surface in the heat-and-power plants are considered.

Problems and contradictions of the current Ukrainian legislative basis in the field of waste handling are discussed. Shortcomings of the existing approach for calculating a waste hazard class of the heat-and-power plants were studied. It is stated that in order to determine hazardous properties of the waste, it is not enough to use only five indicators, which take into account influence of the waste components on the human body only without taking into account their hazard for other living organisms and the environment. An alternative method for calculating hazard class of the waste formed in the objects of fuel and energy complex is considered, which is based on comprehensive and detailed analysis of each ingredient of the waste with taking into account its toxicological, ecological, sanitary-hygienic and physicochemical parameters.

Keywords: fuel and energy complex, ash-slag waste, waste hazard class, waste handling, ecological safety.
