Environmentally safe management of cadmium and mercury. Case: nickel-cadmium battery and compact fluorescent lamp
The main purpose of the thesis was to create the recommendations for the environmentally friendly management of cadmium and mercury on the example of nickel-cadmium battery and a compact fluorescent lamp. The objects of research are a nickel-cadmium battery and a compact fluorescent lamp. Three research objectives were defined: (1) Assessment of the life cycle of a nickel-cadmium battery and a compact fluorescent lamp, development of recommendations for rational use, (2) analysis of regulatory documents in the field of chemicals management and (3) analysis of methods for assessing the life cycle of hazardous substances. The thesis included SFA method (Substance Flow Analysis) and the Life Cycle Assessment Method (tool Eco-indicator 99). The first study assumed the use of the SFA method. The method was based on the implementation of several stages. SFA is an analysis method that is used to assess the flow of a substance. The method involved the use of the principle of mass balance in order to identify the relationship between material flows and human activities (product life cycle). Substance flows were examined and tracked based on the identified system boundaries. Another method (that was) used in the study was LCA (life cycle assessment), a particular method of which was Eco-indicator 99. The LCA method is based on identifying the environmental characteristics of a product. Eco-indicator 99 is based on determining environmental damage throughout the entire life cycle of a product using easy-to-assess eco-indicators. Based on the results the life cycle assessment of cadmium in a battery and mercury in CFLs, recommendations were proposed for enterprises and for government bodies (authorities) based on the organization of cooperation, industry and international enterprises; development of an informative base for the management of chemical waste, emissions and discharges of enterprises; risk management, reducing the likelihood of risks arising from the handling of chemicals. The developed recommendations will be ...
