Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — Uzbekistan has presented projects for processing toxic chemical waste and used industrial catalysts at the COP31 conference in Antalya.
The presentation is taking place at the country’s national pavilion, which is open from 8 to 20 November, the Agency for Waste Management and Development of the Circular Economy reported.
One proposal involves establishing a specialised facility for processing and disposing of toxic chemical waste. The technology is designed to decompose hazardous organic compounds at high temperatures, followed by multi-stage treatment of the resulting gases.
Another proposed solution for processing mixed industrial chemical waste involves high-temperature incineration in a rotary drum kiln equipped with an integrated gas-cleaning system.
The second project aims to establish a facility for recycling used industrial catalysts. According to the project description, gases discharged from the reactor and exhaust air pass through two scrubber units.
After treatment, the air is released into the atmosphere.
The agency said Uzbekistan’s national pavilion at COP31 serves as a platform for exchanging views, establishing new partnerships and discussing practical measures to meet climate commitments.
