Tips

usage

处理 ('to process / handle') + 厂 ('factory / plant'). Almost never used alone — it pairs with what's being processed: 污水处理厂 (sewage treatment plant), 垃圾处理厂 (waste processing plant), 食品处理厂 (food processing plant). 处 here is read chǔ (3rd tone), the verbal reading; 4th-tone chù means 'place'.
