Waste
Waste analysis has been one of the strengths of LabAnalysis Environmental Science since the beginning of its activity.
Our team of experts actively participates in working groups, both at the national and European levels, to stay informed about regulations, methods, and guidelines in publication. The goal is to be constantly updated on changes and regulatory integrations that govern the classification, characterization, and management of waste. The company aims to provide laboratory operators with cutting-edge tools and instrumentation to develop, validate, and use reliable methods that provide a defensible result in any context.
The Quality Management System, along with participation in numerous inter-laboratory circuits, ensures continuous data control.
One of the most important aspects always safeguarded in LabAnalysis Environmental Science is customer assistance in the field of waste. The laboratory provides customers with constant updates on industry news through regular newsletters, seminars, conferences, and webinars.
Regarding analytical activities, the laboratory offers complete support to the customer, starting from the evaluation of the production cycle that generates waste, the involved chemical process, and its nature. This includes preparing the Sampling Plan functional to the choice of the specific analytical profile to apply. After the analysis, the laboratory evaluates the hazardous nature and the possible attribution of danger characteristics based on the criteria established by current regulations.
The laboratory is accredited and specialized in the analysis of waste resulting from various production cycles, including ashes, slag, soil and rocks, metallic waste, liquid aqueous and/or organic waste, mixed demolition waste, oils, plastics, cellulosic materials, slags, filtering/absorbent materials, and personal protective equipment (PPE), solvents, and emulsions.
LabAnalysis Environmental Science's extensive range of instruments allows for in-depth and specific analytical investigations for each type of matrix.
The laboratory processes waste samples, making the expertise of its experienced technicians available at all levels to follow every detail of the analytical process, including:
- Preparation of specific Sampling Plans according to UNI EN 14899
- Sampling according to UNI 10802 for various matrix types
- Merchandising analysis of waste according to ANPA RTI CTN_RIF 1/2000
- Preparation of test portions from the laboratory sample according to UNI EN 15002
- Speciation of certain metallic compounds for proper classification
- Analysis of PCBs, Dioxins and Furans, POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants), Hydrocarbons, IPA, Volatile and Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds, Pesticides, XRF Elements
- In-depth testing and trials, performed according to official test methods, for the evaluation of hazard characteristics: HP1 "Explosive," HP2 "Oxidizing," HP3 "Flammable," HP12 "Release of Acutely Toxic Gases"
- Skin irritation and corrosion tests for the evaluation of hazard characteristics HP4 "Irritant – Skin irritation and eye damage" and HP8 "Corrosive"
- Ecotoxicological tests on aquatic species for the evaluation of hazard characteristic HP14 "Ecotoxic"
- Analysis of artifacts and building materials for asbestos detection in cementitious or resinous matrices (DRX, SEM, FT-IR techniques)
- Analysis of artificial glass fibers for the evaluation, based on the detected type, of hazard characteristic HP7 "Carcinogenic"
- Analysis of the Real Dynamic Respiration Index (IRDR) and the Potential Dynamic Respiration Index (IRDP)
- Measurement of radioactivity through the determination of gamma-emitting radionuclides
- Leaching tests for monolithic and/or granular waste
- Waste classification according to current regulations
- Evaluation for landfill disposal according to current regulations
- Waste assessment for recovery according to current regulations
- ADR (Agreement for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road) classification.
Thanks to its experience in the sector, LabAnalysis Environmental Science provides highly professional support in the analytical and classification field of Secondary Solid Fuels (CSS) in full compliance with current regulations.
The laboratory is accredited and specialized in CSS analysis, covering everything from sampling to analysis. It precisely, quickly, and reliably determines all parameters required by current regulations and specific authorizations:
Classification Parameters:
- Lower Calorific Value (LCV) – economic parameter
- Chlorine – technical parameter
- Mercury – environmental parameter
Specification Parameters:
- Particle shape and size distribution
- Moisture, ash, and volatile solids
- Apparent density
- Elemental analysis (C, H, N, S)
- Halogens (F, Br, I)
- Metals
- Ash softening temperature
- Autoignition temperature
- Biomass content, through the determination of 14C content and/or selective chemical dissolution
The laboratory, with its team of experts, can assist the client from the initial sampling phases, carried out according to UNI EN ISO 21645, to ensure the proper management and classification of CSS in accordance with UNI EN ISO 21640.
