Hazardous Waste Studies
Classification and characterization of Solid waste into Hazardous or Non- hazardous.
1.The classification and characterization of solid waste into hazardous or non-hazardous categories, as per the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines, are essential for ensuring proper management and disposal practices that protect human health and the environment.
2. Solid waste is classified based on its potential to cause harm due to its physical, chemical, or biological properties.
3. Characterization involves sampling and testing waste to determine these properties, including pH, flammability, toxicity (leachability), and concentrations of specific hazardous substances like heavy metals or organic pollutants.

Renewable Gas Production Studies from Waste.
1.Renewable gas production studies from waste focus on converting organic materials such as biomass, agricultural residues, municipal solid waste, and wastewater sludge into useful energy sources like biogas or synthetic natural gas (SNG).
2. These studies explore various technologies such as anaerobic digestion, gasification, and pyrolysis to break down organic matter and capture the resulting gases, primarily methane and hydrogen and analysis

Study on Waste / Used Oil as per MOEF Guidelines.
1.A study on waste or used oil, as per Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MOEF) guidelines, focuses on the management and disposal of oils that have been used and may contain contaminants or pollutants.
2. Key aspects of the study include assessing the composition of used oil, identifying hazardous constituents, determining suitable recycling or disposal methods, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards to minimize environmental impact.

Leachability Studies with respect to Toxic Metals.
1.Leachability studies with respect to toxic metals focus on evaluating the potential for these metals to leach from solid wastes or contaminated materials into the surrounding environment under various conditions.
2. Key objectives include identifying the types and concentrations of toxic metals present in the waste, examining factors influencing leaching such as pH, moisture content, and contact time, and predicting potential impacts on soil, groundwater, and surface water quality.
3. Methods typically involve laboratory tests such as toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) or synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (SPLP) to simulate environmental conditions and quantify leachable metal concentrations.

Studies related to Electronic Wastes.
1. Studies on the testing of electronic wastes (e-waste) focus on evaluating the composition, environmental impact, and management strategies for discarded electronic devices.
2. These studies involve comprehensive analysis of e-waste to identify and quantify hazardous substances such as heavy metals (e.g., lead, mercury, cadmium), brominated flame retardants, and other toxic materials present in electronic products.
3. Testing methodologies include chemical analysis, leaching tests to assess the potential for environmental contamination, and health risk assessments related to human exposure.
