Question

Describe the usefulness of incineration of wastes, and also mention the precautions required in it.

Answer 1

Incineration is the process of decomposing material with the help of fire. All the waste substances are incinerated to get decomposed. Incineration reduces the volume of waste and also destroy the infectious material, we cannot incinerate the things that are explosive and that produces toxic gases. High-temperature, mass-scale incineration of solid waste which produces ash, gases, and heat, and at the end of the burning cycle the total mass of solid waste left behind will be dramatically reduced. Large-scale modern solid waste incineration plants can process 250 tons or more of garbage per day, with emissions that are significantly less toxic than what incineration plants were producing a couple of decades ago
