|
| |
Abatement / Containment
|
|
Abatement can be accomplished by removal or cleanup of the contaminant, or by encasing and limiting further release of the hazardous material or chemical. The release of material is sometimes accomplished by installation of a lining or barrier system. Primary and secondary containment systems are available. In cases where the primary containment fails, the secondary system prevents further leakage or leaching of hazardous materials. A tank or vessel would constituent a primary containment system, while a secondary containment system would include a liner or barrier around or below the tank or vessel. In cases where the primary containment fails, the secondary system prevents further leakage or leaching of hazardous materials into the environment.
|
| |
Acylation / Alkylation (e.g., Friedel-Crafts)

Acylation synthesis produces deactivated monoacylates through an electrophilic, aromatic substitution reaction between arenes and acyl chlorides or anhydrides. In the Friedel-Crafts alkylation processes, the electrophilic aromatic substitution is catalyzed by a Lewis-acid and produces alkylated products through the reaction of arenes with alkyl halides or alkenes. Alkyl groups can activate arene, resulting in polyalkylated products. Typically, Friedel-Crafts reactions for alkylation or acylation of aromatic compounds are catalyzed by aluminum chloride or other Lewis acids.

|
| |
Hydroformylation / Formylation
|
|
Hydroformylation or formylation reactions such as Duff, Gattermann-Koch or Vilsmeier-Haack are performed. In Duff reactions, the formylation of phenols or aromatic amines with hexamethylenetetramine uses an acidic catalyst. Gattermann-Koch reactions are catalyzed by using aluminum chloride at high-pressure in order to achieve the formylation of benzene, alkylbenzenes or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with carbon monoxide and hydrogen chloride. Formylation of the amino acids in proteins is a naturally occurring process.
|
| |
Hydrogenation
|
|
Hydrogenation is the reaction of hydrogen with another chemical or raw material. For example, Sorbital is formed through the hydrogenation of corn syrup. Formylation of the amino acids in proteins is a naturally occurring process.
Fischer Tropsch (gas to liquids) or linear alpha olefin hydroformylation processes are used in the production of synthetic oils fluids. In the Fischer Tropsch reaction or Synthol process, hydrocarbons, aliphatic alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones are synthesized by the catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide using synthesis gas enriched from the passage of steam over heated coke.

Reactive metals combine readily with oxygen at elevated temperatures to form very stable oxides. Titanium, zirconium, and beryllium are considered reactive metals. Finely divided reactive metals can react explosively with oxygen and are often added to rocket fuels or combustible mixtures. A highly stable oxide film formed on the alloy surface provides protection against further oxidization or corrosion at low to moderate temperatures. Reactive metals can become embrittled if there is too much interstitial absorption into the lattice of oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen.
|
| |
Stainless Steel
|
|
Stainless steels are highly corrosion resistant, ferrous alloys that contain chromium and/or nickel additions. There are three basic types of products: austenitic stainless steels, ferritic and martensitic stainless steels, and specialty stainless steels and iron superalloys.
Austenitic stainless steels (AISI 300 / 200 Series) are highly corrosion resistant, ferrous alloys that contain chromium and nickel or manganese additions. Generally, austenitic stainless steels are more corrosion resistant than ferritic or martensitic stainless steels. Annealed austenitic stainless steels are non-magnetic. Cold working is used to harden austenitic stainless steels because these alloys do not respond to conventional quench and temper hardening processes.
Ferritic and martensitic stainless steels are highly corrosion resistant, ferrous alloys that contain chromium and/or carbon additions. Ferritic stainless steels are soft, easy to form metal alloys. Cold working is used to harden ferritic stainless steels because these alloys do not respond to conventional quench and temper hardening processes. Ferritic stainless steels are formed to fabricate mufflers and other sheet metal components that require good corrosion resistance. Martensitic stainless steels can be hardened by a conventional quench and temper operation. Martensitic stainless steels are used for knife blades, tooling or other applications that require good corrosion resistance combined with higher hardness and wear resistance.
Specialty stainless steels and iron superalloys are highly corrosion resistant, ferrous alloys containing chromium, nickel or other alloying additions to provide high strength or heat resistance. Duplex and precipitation hardening stainless steels belong in this category.

Asbestos
|
|
Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous silicate mineral that was widely used a filler and reinforcement in materials due to its strength, chemical, insulative ability and thermal stability. Common types of asbestiform minerals include chrysotile, amosite and crocidolite. Chrysotile was the source for 95% of asbestos used industrially. When separated or milled the minerals breakdown in long, threadlike fibers. Asbestos causes lung cancer when the fibers are inhaled. Older pipe or thermal insulation in factories or buildings still contains asbestos, which requires professional abatement or removal.

Lead is a metal with a low melting point, a high density, and low hardness. Lead is toxic and causes brain damage when ingested. Lead and lead alloys are used in lead paint in older facilities, balancing weights, radiation shielding, battery electrodes and solders.

Recycling of slag or other by-product waster streams from industrial production processes is available. Slag waste is often pulverized and used in cement and concrete products to provide a water proof material.
|
| |
Soil
|
|
Processing or treatment of soil or earthen materials.
|
| |
Spills / Contamination
|
|
Contamination of environmental media (air, water, soil) through the unintentional release or spills of oil, chemicals, toxic powders, or other hazardous materials. Non-aqueous liquid spills or contamination can consist of LNAPLs or DNAPLs. LNAPLs are light non-aqueous phase liquids that are sparingly soluble in water and less dense than water. Oil is an example of an LNAPL because it "floats" on top of water and does not mix with water. LNAPLs collect at the water table between surface water and ground water regions. DNAPLs or dense nonaqueous phase liquids include separate-phase hydrocarbon liquids that are denser than water, such as chlorinated solvent, wood preservative wastes, coal tar wastes and pesticides. These collect at the bottom of the aquifer, well or ground water region. Soluble inorganic or heavy metal salt solutions can also contaminate water, soil and building sites.
|
| |
Tire / Rubber Scrap
|
|
Recycling or reclamation of tires and rubber scrap is available. Scrap rubber can be shredded or ground into crumb rubber, which is used as a component in asphalt or paving, sport surfaces, and molded products.

Laboratory / Benchtop Scale
|
|
Typically, laboratory or benchtop scale means that processing capacity does not exceed a few pounds or a few gallons. Actual quantities vary based on the type of material. For example, laboratory scale quantities may be expressed in milligrams for nanomaterials and specialized biochemical compounds. Usually, one person can easily and safely operate laboratory scale equipment. This category excludes facilities whose function is to produce commercial quantities.
|
| |
Pilot Scale
|
|
Pilot scale is a small-scale production process that is larger than laboratory scale and used to develop a subsequent full-scale process. Typically, pilot scale quantities are in the range of several drums (e.g., 55-gallon drums) or hundreds of pounds or gallons; however, quantities vary with the density and type of processed material, chemical or product. Pilot scale facilities are better than laboratory scale facilities at simulating production processes and can be used for troubleshooting, improving and optimizing processes.
|
| |
Production Lots / Field Scale
|
|
Companies may have commercial, production, field or industrial scale processing facilities. Typically, the processing ranges are in thousands of gallons or pounds; however, quantities vary by material, chemical, or product.
