Hi

Here devil1407

♡'Incineration' means 'reducing I ashes'.

♡The burning of a substance at high temperature (of more than 1000`C) to form ash is called incineration.

♡It is used to destroy household waste, chemical waste and biological waste (like that from hospitals).

♡It greatly reduces the volume of he waste.

♡This is because when the large volume of waste material is burned, then only a small amount of ash is left behind which can be disposed of by landfill.

♡It is carried out in an incinerator (which is a kind of furnace).

♡The waste disposal on large scale in the incinerator.

♡All the organic matter present in waste is removed as carbon dioxide and water vapour.

♡The ash left behind is removed from time to time.

Hope it helps U

Bye
