What is the definition of ignitability in the context of hazardous waste?

  1. The ability of a waste to catch fire and burn easily.

  2. The ability of a waste to produce toxic gases when burned.

  3. The ability of a waste to corrode metal.

  4. The ability of a waste to react violently with water.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ignitability is the ability of a waste to catch fire and burn easily. This property is important because it can pose a fire hazard if the waste is not properly managed.

What are the four main factors that determine the ignitability of a hazardous waste?

  1. Flash point, boiling point, vapor pressure, and autoignition temperature.

  2. pH, corrosivity, reactivity, and toxicity.

  3. Density, viscosity, solubility, and surface tension.

  4. Heat of combustion, specific gravity, thermal conductivity, and specific heat.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The four main factors that determine the ignitability of a hazardous waste are flash point, boiling point, vapor pressure, and autoignition temperature.

What is the flash point of a hazardous waste?

  1. The temperature at which the waste will catch fire.

  2. The temperature at which the waste will boil.

  3. The temperature at which the waste will produce toxic gases.

  4. The temperature at which the waste will react violently with water.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The flash point of a hazardous waste is the temperature at which the waste will catch fire.

What is the boiling point of a hazardous waste?

  1. The temperature at which the waste will catch fire.

  2. The temperature at which the waste will boil.

  3. The temperature at which the waste will produce toxic gases.

  4. The temperature at which the waste will react violently with water.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The boiling point of a hazardous waste is the temperature at which the waste will boil.

What is the vapor pressure of a hazardous waste?

  1. The pressure exerted by the vapor of the waste at a given temperature.

  2. The pressure exerted by the liquid of the waste at a given temperature.

  3. The pressure exerted by the solid of the waste at a given temperature.

  4. The pressure exerted by the gas of the waste at a given temperature.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The vapor pressure of a hazardous waste is the pressure exerted by the vapor of the waste at a given temperature.

What is the autoignition temperature of a hazardous waste?

  1. The temperature at which the waste will catch fire without an external source of ignition.

  2. The temperature at which the waste will boil.

  3. The temperature at which the waste will produce toxic gases.

  4. The temperature at which the waste will react violently with water.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The autoignition temperature of a hazardous waste is the temperature at which the waste will catch fire without an external source of ignition.

What are the three main categories of ignitable hazardous wastes?

  1. Solids, liquids, and gases.

  2. Organic, inorganic, and mixed.

  3. Flammable, combustible, and non-flammable.

  4. Corrosive, reactive, and toxic.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The three main categories of ignitable hazardous wastes are solids, liquids, and gases.

What are some examples of solid ignitable hazardous wastes?

  1. Paper, wood, and cloth.

  2. Gasoline, diesel fuel, and oil.

  3. Methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol.

  4. Acids, bases, and salts.

  4. Corrosives, reactives, and toxics.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Some examples of liquid ignitable hazardous wastes include gasoline, diesel fuel, and oil.

What are some examples of gaseous ignitable hazardous wastes?

  1. Methane, propane, and butane.

  2. Hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen dioxide.

  3. Ammonia, chlorine, and hydrogen chloride.

  4. Sulfur dioxide, ozone, and particulate matter.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Some examples of gaseous ignitable hazardous wastes include methane, propane, and butane.

Explanation:

The environmental hazards associated with ignitable hazardous wastes include air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, and all of the above.

How can ignitable hazardous wastes be managed safely?

  1. Store them in a cool, dry place away from sources of ignition.

  2. Use them only in well-ventilated areas.

  3. Dispose of them properly at a hazardous waste disposal facility.

  4. All of the above.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ignitable hazardous wastes can be managed safely by storing them in a cool, dry place away from sources of ignition, using them only in well-ventilated areas, and disposing of them properly at a hazardous waste disposal facility.

What are the regulations governing the management of ignitable hazardous wastes?
