waste instead of coal. The invention of use of fly ash to manufacture pozzolana
cement has reduced waste management problem at thermal power plant besides
decreasing burden on natural resources.
Treatment and disposal can be done off site or at the point of generation. In many
countries where common co-processing, treatment and/or disposal facilities are not
established, waste is processed at the point of generation or disposed illegally/
unscientifically.
Solid hazardous wastes are treated/disposed using following methods:
1. Stabilization and solidification.
2. Incineration and co-incineration.
3. Landfill.
