Treatment technology: the treatment technology of medical waste is still in the exploratory stage in China, and the optimization method is not mature enough. Related processing technologies can be roughly divided into three categories:
① High temperature treatment methods, such as incineration, pyrolysis and vaporization;
Alternative treatment methods, such as chemical disinfection, high temperature and high pressure steam sterilization, dry heat disinfection, microwave treatment and safe landfill;
(3) Innovative technologies, such as plasma technology and radiation technology. There are many technologies used to treat medical wastes, which can be generally divided into sterilization, incineration, plasma, pyrolysis and sanitary landfill according to different treatment principles.
Extended data
Hazard: Medical waste is produced in the process of medical service. If it is improperly disposed and piled in the open air at will, it will not only occupy a lot of land, resulting in the reduction of available land resources, but also a large number of toxic waste residue or waste liquid will be scattered all over nature and easily contact with soil. Some medical and health institutions even simply bury medical waste, which will cause great pollution to the soil.
Once the toxic substances of medical waste enter the soil, they will be adsorbed by the soil, causing pollution to the soil, killing microorganisms and protozoa in the soil, destroying the micro-ecology in the soil, and then reducing the degradation ability of the soil to pollutants; Acid, alkali, salt and other substances will change the nature and structure of soil, lead to soil acidification, alkalization and hardening, affect the development and growth of plant roots and destroy the ecological environment.
At the same time, many toxic organic compounds and heavy metals will accumulate in plants, causing serious damage to the liver and nervous system, inducing cancer and causing fetal malformation.
