Since 2019, there has been a global pandemic due to Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19), which has resulted in a large increase in the production of personal protective equipment (PPE) used for treating infected patients. The constant need for PPE has resulted in the accumulation of medical waste, leading to environmental issues. Apart from sanitation, incineration, and land filling, an energy recovery method has to be identified to handle COVID-19 medical wastes (CMW). This research focuses on the use of thermochemical processes for treating infectious medical wastes, especially pyrolysis. It is a method of converting CMW into useful products. It is eco-friendly, efficient, cost-effective, and causes lower pollution. This study provides comprehensive information on the management, treatment, and formation of valuable products, as well as the appropriate discharge of CMW into an open environment.

摘要

Since 2019, there has been a global pandemic due to Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19), which has resulted in a large increase in the production of personal protective equipment (PPE) used for treating infected patients. The constant need for PPE has resulted in the accumulation of medical waste, leading to environmental issues. Apart from sanitation, incineration, and land filling, an energy recovery method has to be identified to handle COVID-19 medical wastes (CMW). This research focuses on the use of thermochemical processes for treating infectious medical wastes, especially pyrolysis. It is a method of converting CMW into useful products. It is eco-friendly, efficient, cost-effective, and causes lower pollution. This study provides comprehensive information on the management, treatment, and formation of valuable products, as well as the appropriate discharge of CMW into an open environment.
