Suggest suitable mechanism (s) for waste management in fertilizer industries.

The various mechanisms which can be used for waste management in fertilizer industries are as follows:


1. The waste in fertilizer industries is the polluting gases. The polluting gases can be reduced by the use of catalytic converters which are fitted in chimneys in the industries.


2. Another second major waste in industries is the effluents obtained from industries. The effluents can be treated by various steps such as sedimentation, filtration and chlorination etc. After adopting these measures, the clean water can then be transferred to rivers as it will provide no harm to water bodies now. The sludge remained after the processes can be used as manure after decomposition.
