Pollution Status and Environmental Sound Management (ESM) Trends on Typical General Industrial Solid Waste

Abstract General industrial solid waste is an important part of solid waste, but it has not get people's attention for a long time. There is no specific regulation or relevant technology standards for the safety protection of general industrial solid wastes in China. A lot of general industrial solid wastes were generated in China every year, which will pollute the soil, ground water, air and human's health seriously if not properly treated Based on waste yield and hazards, some typical industrial wastes such as tailings, gangue, acidic waste rock, fly ash, smelting waste slag and phosphogypsum were selected to discuss the pollution status, regulation problems and environmental sound management trend. The result indicates that, the current national standard system has many problems in the management scope and requirement It is urgent to revise the provision of “national standard for pollution control on the storage and disposal site of general industrial solid waste”, such as site selection, admission, design, construction, operation, closure and other technical requirements, in order to improve the environmental sound management (ESM) trend on typical general industrial solid waste Besides, increasing technological upgrading, developing new materials and improving the comprehensive utilization were also proposed.
