| physical treatment Processes that separate components of a waste stream or change the physical form of the waste without altering the chemical structure of the constituent materials. Physical treatment techniques are often used to separate the materials within the waste stream so that they can be reused or detoxified by chemical or biological treatment or destroyed by high-temperature incineration | 物理处理 (分离废料流中的各种成分或改变废料的物理形态，而不改变其化学结构组成。物理处理技术经常用来分离废料流，以便它们可以通过化学或生物或解毒疗法重用，或被高温焚烧销毁。) |
