Technology Assessment of Selected Hazardous Waste Minimization Process Changes
Abstract
The objective of this study was to technically evaluate selected industrial process changes for applications to Air Logistics Centers for hazardous waste minimization. Those processes evaluated were as follows: (a) Ion vapor deposition of aluminum as a replacement for cadmium electroplating, (b) Noncyanide strippers to replace cyanide strippers, (c) Plasma spray of chromium to replace chromium electroplating, and (d) Nickel boron as a replacement for chromium electroplating. The study resulted in the recommendation to develop databases, test plans, pilot studies, and demonstrations of the effectiveness of processes a and b, above, in minimizing hazardous waste generation. Processes c and d showed minimum potential for hazardous waste minimization, and were not recommended for further study. Keywords: Indoor air pollution, Water pollution, Pollution abatement, Technology assessment, Industrial processes, Vapor deposition, Aluminum, Strippers, Noncyanide, Plasma spray, Chromium, Nickel boron, Hazardous waste minimization.
