Zusammenfassung: | Technological development has led to an increase in demand for oil globally, which has led to a rise in environmental pollution and its negative impact on human health. Hospitals and health centres increased with the increase in medical waste. When the COVID-201 virus spread, the medical waste increased. The best solution was to burn in medicinal incinerators to detoxify, complete disinfection, reduce the volume to 95%, weight 70%, restore energy and perform a rapid recovery. At the same time, it produces ash 30% containing heavy metals and metal oxides treated by burial in special landfills for waste that negatively affects the soil, groundwater, the environment, and humans. This paper used wood (Biomass) instead of diesel in the same medical waste. Examine bottom and fly ash in an XRF machine. We found that the concentration was reduced with the increasing mass of ash for heavy metals and metal oxides when using wood with the same waste weight and combustion conditions. |
