Question

Give advantage of incineration.

State any one advantage of incineration. 

What are the advantages of incineration?

Answer 1

1. Suitable for disposal for toxic and biomedical wastes.
2. Suitable for disposal of non biodegradable wastes which cannot be decomposed naturally.
3. It reduces the space required for disposal of wastes by conventional ways like open dumping and landfills.
4. Less time required for disposal.

Answer 2

1. Incineration reduces the mass of the waste from 95 to 96 percent. This reduction depends ttpon the recovery degree and composition of materials. This means that incineration, however, does not replace the need for landfilling; instead, it reduces the amount to be thrown in it.
2. The heat that is produced by an incinerator can be used for generating steam, which is used for driving a turbine in order to produce electricity.
3. Incineration is beneficial in specific areas like medical waste and other life-risking waste.
