hazardous waste treatment technologies

Hazardous waste treatment technologies are methods used to safely manage and neutralize dangerous waste, preventing harm to people and the environment. These technologies include physical processes like filtering and solidifying waste, chemical treatments to convert toxins into safer substances, biological methods that use microorganisms to break down contaminants, and thermal processes like incineration that burn waste at high temperatures. The goal is to reduce toxicity, volume, or mobility of hazardous materials, making them safer for disposal or reuse. These treatments ensure hazardous waste is handled responsibly, minimizing its impact on ecosystems and human health.
