| dc.description.abstract | The research refers to applying Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to efficiently manage the liquid waste from college labs by monitoring the type, amount and transportation so that all of the liquid waste, from production to disposal, can be traced and managed properly, which could also avoid harming human body and the environment.
A liquid waste management system for labs, colleges, and the disposal agencies, was developed following the analysis, design, systematic implementation process, and logical investigation. The experiment was operated at 100 of national universities’ labs which produce liquid wastes. The results showed that the system could efficiently manage the type, amount and transportation of the liquid waste from production to disposal. The results were also expected to be applied to the management of waste in other college labs.
The research successfully integrated RFID technology into web-based database system. Applying the information, including the identification of personnel, material, and location, collected by RFID readers from RFID tags, the system could automatically integrate the data into the labs’ existing liquid waste management system. From the questionnaire to the labs, the researcher also found the high variety (36 types with in 8 main categories), low volume nature of liquid waste, which highly increased the complexity of the management system.
The research, which introduced the RFID technology to construct a liquid waste management system for the labs, can be applied to the management of chemicals in college labs and has the potential to be further extended to the industrial circles in order to achieve the goal of comprehensive environmental management and incessant development | en_US |
