laboratory incinerator
Incineration is the most environmentally acceptable method of laboratory waste disposal. Combustion of organic materials with excess oxygen at high temperatures for sufficient time results in degradation to elemental constituents or by-products that are easier to handle in an environmentally acceptable manner. In addition to heat, the principle products of incineration are carbon dioxide, water, and oxides of sulfur and nitrogen; depending on what is burned, other volatile materials may also be formed. Nonvolatile products include fly ash and…
