1. Self-disposal: Hospitals can use disinfectants to sterilize medical waste before placing it in the regular garbage for uniform disposal. The advantage is that the treatment is simple and low cost; the disadvantage is that it is difficult to achieve complete disinfection effect, easy to secondary pollution.
2. Low-temperature and high-pressure sterilization: Through the low-temperature and high-pressure method, the sterilization effect can be achieved, is a commonly used method. The advantage is that the sterilization rate is high, the treatment can be directly disposed of after treatment; the disadvantage is the high cost.
3. High-temperature autoclaving: through the high-temperature autoclaving method, can achieve sterilization effect. The advantage is that the sterilization rate is high, and the treated garbage can be reduced in volume and small size; the disadvantage is that the treatment is time-consuming and the cost is slightly high.
4. Chemical treatment: through the use of sterilization, deodorization and other chemical methods to deal with medical waste. The advantage is that there is no obvious pollution before and after treatment, can be harmless treatment; disadvantage is that the treatment consumes a lot of".
5. microwave disinfection: through microwave radiation to kill the flora in the medical waste, can achieve sterilization effect. The advantage is that the processing speed is fast; the disadvantage is that the processing cost is relatively high.
6. Special incineration: the use of high-temperature incineration can effectively kill all types of pathogenic bacteria in medical waste. The advantage is that the treatment effect is good, without the need for secondary pollution; the disadvantage is high energy consumption, air pollution.
7. Ion radiation disinfection: the use of ion radiation on medical waste sterilization sterilization, to achieve harmless treatment methods. The advantage is that the processing speed, affordable; disadvantage is not applicable to all types of medical waste and radiation pollution problems.
8. Medical waste landfill: One of the methods of medical waste treatment, the garbage is filled into a special landfill after sterilization. The advantage is the relative low cost, the disadvantage is that it is easy to secondary pollution, increasing the harm caused to the environment.
In short, the correct treatment of medical waste requires the selection of the appropriate method, according to the type of medical waste, quantity, scope, production process and other circumstances to choose the most appropriate treatment method, in order to reduce environmental pollution, while protecting the environment and public health and safety.
