Investigation of Trichloroethene Abatement for the Degreasing Industry

Assessment of microwave plasma technology and the development of a new environmental screening tool

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents are required in many
industrial cleaning processes, and their emission is
regulated. With so many options available, it can be
difficult to determine the best environmental and
economic solutions. This book investigates the
management of vapour emissions of a popular
degreasing agent, TCE. The reader will gain an in
depth understanding of the industrial context,
including problems faced by industry, health and
environmental impacts of degreasers, regulatory
approaches and available technologies. The primary
focus of the work is an investigation of a novel
technology, microwave plasma treatment, and a
comparison of its performance and robustness with
conventional combustion. Finally, a simple method to
assess and compare the overall environmental impact
of various environmental management strategies is
presented. This powerful screening tool enables
revision of environmental priorities as legislation
changes. Potential readers include those interested
in degreasing, chlorinated solvents, plasma abatement
technologies or environmental screening tools.
