Book Description
This report summarizes an interim resource and guideline document intended to aid USEPA regional offices in implementing the PCB Regulations (40 CFR 761) with regard to the use of non-thermal methods for the destruction/disposal of PCBs. The interim report describes and evaluates various alternative chemical, physical, and biological PCB removal and/or destruction technologies, including carbon adsorption, catalytic dehydrochlorination, chlorinolysis. sodium based dechlorination, photolytic and microwave plasma destruction, catalyzed wet-air oxidation, and activated sludge, trickling filter, and special bacterial methods. Alternative destruction/disposal technologies were evaluated using technical, regulatory, environmental impact, economic, and energy requirements criteria. Because the technologies investigated are at various stages of development (only the sodium based dechlorination processes are now commercially available), data deficiencies exist, and good engineering judgment was used to supplement available quantitative information. Of the technologies evaluated, many show the potential for greater than 90 percent PCB destruction with minimum environmental impacts and low to moderate economic costs. These technologies are catalytic dehydrochlorination, sodium based dechlorination, microwave plasma, and photolytic processes.

Analytical Chemistry of PCBs
Author: Mitchell D. Erickson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351466550
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 688
Book Description
This updated and expanded Second Edition of Dr. Erickson's Analytical Chemistry of PCBs appears a decade after the first and is completely revised and updated. The changes from the First Edition reflect the significant growth in the area and a growing appreciation of the importance of PCB analysis to our culture. This book is a comprehensive review of the analytical chemistry of PCBs. It is part history, part annotated bibliography, part comparison, and part guidance. Featuring a new chapter on analyst/customer interactions and several new appendices, the Second Edition is an invaluable resource for both chemists with no experience in PCB analysis and seasoned PCB researchers. All topics have been more thoroughly treated and updated in this new edition to reflect advances made in the last decade, especially:

Offshore Platform Hazardous Waste Incineration
Destruction Technologies for Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)
Author: M.M. Dillon Limited
Publisher: Environmental Protection Service
ISBN:
Category : Hazardous wastes
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
Data concerning methods for the destruction of PCBs are presented in this report. The information on the technologies was gathered from numerous sources to provide background information for future assessment or to assist in a selection process. The technologies reviewed fall into four categories: conventional incineration, novel incineration, chemical processes and physical/chemical processes.
