Waste Ignitability and Reactivity Testing

Reactive hazardous wastes refer to wastes that are explosive and produce flammable or toxic gases in contact with water or acids, as well as waste oxidants or organic peroxides. Easy to burn and friction may catch fire waste is a combustible waste. With combustible and reactive hazardous waste, because of its own high susceptibility to violent reactions, resulting in its treatment process and process control is very difficult and easy to produce secondary environmental pollution in the treatment process. At present, incineration and landfill method is the primary disposal method of hazardous waste.

However, to ensure that the physical and chemical properties of the incoming waste are stable, the hazardous waste should be formulated before incineration. To better assist researchers in the field of waste treatment to treat waste in a more scientific, optimal, and rational way, Lifeasible provides waste corrosiveness, toxicity, and metal content tests, in addition to waste flammability and reactivity tests, so that the calorific value, the content of major organic hazardous components, heavy metal content, sulfur content, moisture, and ash content of the waste to be treated indicators to meet the design requirements of the incineration facility.

• Testing projects

Projects	Details
Combustible hazardous waste characteristics test
Preliminary sieving test	Lifeasible uses an automated flammable solids sifter to test whether the waste should be included in the flammable stationary waste category to determine whether a subsequent process is required.
Hazardous characteristics determination test	Metal burn rate meters and non-metal burn rate meters are used to test the burn rate of the waste. Using the high-temperature scorch weight method, XRF (X-ray fluorescence), neutron activation, and other high-energy radiation directly test the content of the elements in the waste, ash value calculation. Use the oven weight method, microwave method, Karl Fischer method, etc., to test the moisture of the waste.
Applicable packaging category test	Based on the results of the above tests, Lifeasible gives the recommended packaging standards for a specific category of waste.
A reactive hazardous waste characterization test
Preliminary sieving test	Lifeasible uses the sieve, Koenen, and time/pressure tests to determine whether the waste is combustible or flammable thus determine whether a subsequent process is required.
Hazardous characteristics determination test	Impact sensitivity Testing Friction sensitivity test Thermal stability test Small-scale combustion test Water reactivity test Organic peroxide hazard characteristics test (Koenen test, pressure vessel test, self-accelerated decomposition temperature test, adiabatic storage test, isothermal storage test, thermal accumulation storage test) Dwell test Drip test
Applicable packaging category test	Based on the results of these tests, Lifeasible provides recommended packaging standards for specific categories of waste.

Different hazardous wastes have their own unique physical and chemical properties and hazards. In the specific disposal process, researchers combine the accurate hazardous waste test results provided by Lifeasible to choose the appropriate hazardous waste disposal method and procedure, which can reduce the hazardous impact of the waste and ensure the efficiency of waste disposal.
