Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of elemental analysis, and specifically relates to a method for comprehensive elemental analysis of unknown waste. Background Art
[0002] Waste may contain heavy metals (such as lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic), toxic organic substances (such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, dioxins) or radioactive substances, which can seep into the soil, damage the soil structure and physical and chemical properties, and then affect the growth of crops. In the long run, these contaminated soils can not only fail to produce healthy crops, but also cause long-term harm to human health through the food chain. Secondly, the pollution of waste to water bodies cannot be ignored either. Waste may contain a large number of harmful substances, such as heavy metal ions, organic substances, acid-base substances, etc. They will pollute surface water and groundwater, disrupting the water ecological balance. In some areas, due to the random placement of waste, groundwater has been severely polluted, which not only affects people's normal life, but also causes damage to the ecosystem and biodiversity. At the same time, waste often contains a large amount of recyclable resources. Random discarding not only wastes resources but also increases the environmental burden.
[0003] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a method for comprehensive elemental analysis of unknown waste. Conducting comprehensive elemental analysis of unknown waste is of great significance for environmental protection, safety management, resource recovery, compliance, etc. By comprehensively understanding the chemical composition and properties of waste, waste can be managed and processed more effectively, reducing its potential harm to the environment and human health.
