摘要:
Toxic PCB has been broadly used as insulating oil in electric equipment such as capacitors, transformers and the like. Since the PCB is a refractory organic compound, the disposal of PCB is not advanced until now. This is a great social problem in Japan and the world. Thus, the early disposal of PCB is demanded. The conventional PCB disposing systems include a burnout type high-temperature disposing system and a chemical decomposing system. However, the high-temperature burning system is not satisfactorily improved due to various problems such as a difficulty of control for a furnace, a problem of disposing the ash containing non-decomposed PCB, a problem of generation of dioxin in lower processing temperature, a problem of movement of the PCB and a problem of not obtaining the agreement of inhabitants. Moreover, the chemical decomposing system raises various other problems in that a plant must be constructed with a huge investment that is said to be equal to 40 hundred millions per plant, that PCB must be transported to the PCB disposing plant and that the PCB disposing speed in the plan is too slow. The present invention provides a novel PCB electrolyzing and disposing method and apparatus based on a new idea in which the PCB used as electrically insulating oil can be electrolyzed by passing the electricity through the PCB. The PCB disposing apparatus of the present invention may be portable. Thus, the apparatus can be moved to any PCB storage place to dispose the PCB in place without transportation of the PCB. In addition to the introduction of the PCB into an electrolyzing tank, the PCB may be electrolyzed by pouring water into the container of equipment containing the remaining PCB, inserting the inserting portion including the electric-wave rod, electrode rods and others into the water to electrolyze the PCB. A PCB-polluted container may be placed in a large-sized disposing tank for electrolysis. The system of the present invention may be used as a soil improving apparatus by placing PCB- or dioxin-polluted soil in a disposing tank and electrolyzing the PCB or dioxin therein. The apparatus of the present invention may be manufactured in smaller to larger sizes, depending on processing scale, and may be manufactured as a portable apparatus, as a large-scaled plant or as an integral unit mounted on a vehicle. Moreover, the system of the present invention can dispose the PCB with a greatly reduced cost and in an increased speed, in comparison with the prior art. According to the present invention, the disposal of PCB can be sharply be accelerated in Japan and the world.

The invention relates to a method for removing mercury impurities from metal, comprising the steps of: treating the metal surface with a liquid containing a reducing agent (for example sodium sulphite and/or sodium sulfide); and rinsing the treated metal. To enhance and/or to accelerate the mercury decontamination rate the treated metal is subjected to electrolysis. The invention also relates to plant for removing mercury impurities from metal, comprising: a treatment tank for treating the metal; means for treating the metal with liquid containing a reducing agent and with rinsing liquid; and tanks for receiving the liquid containing a reducing agent and the rinsing liquid.

The casing metal of, for example, a munition containing organic materials is removed or at least perforated by anodic dissolution in a chamber (16) fabricated to contain the explosion should the munition detonate. The contents are then exposed to reaction with anolyte from a plant (17), the anolyte comprising nitric acid and electrochemically regenerable silver II ions.

Des compositions potentiellement dangereuses, contenant des matières combustibles solides, des oxydants, des dérivés nitrés, des nitramines, des nitrates et dans de nombreux cas des liants, sont désensibilisés au moyen de réactifs produits à partir de la composition elle-même par électrolyse à un courant faible appliqué sur une longue durée de temps. Dans le procédé décrit, la composition est maintenue dans un réacteur (8) séparé de la cellule d'électrolyse (1) et un agent de lessivage aqueux provenant de la composition est divisé en deux parties et chaque partie est traitée dans une des deux moitiés (2, 3) de la cellule d'électrolyse (1) pour former respectivement des réactifs fortement oxydant et fortement réducteur, que l'on fait ensuite passer successivement dans le réacteur pour assurer la décomposition de la composition. La composition résultante a une sensibilité moindre aux influences externes telles que des impacts accidentels ou des décharges accidentelles d'électricité statique.

摘要:
Process and apparatus for decomposing halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbon compounds in the presence of functional water under light irradiation, where the target substance for decomposition contained at a low concentration in the exhaust or discharge from the decomposition unit is adsorbed by an adsorption unit, and at regular intervals, the adsorbed target substance is released from the adsorption unit and returned to the decomposition unit. The concentration of the target substance in the waste or discharge can be easily and efficiently reduced below the environmental standard.

A first electrolytic chamber which houses an anode plate and a cathode plate with an ion-permeable membrane interposed therebetween is supplied with raw water containing an electrolyte as chloride ions. The raw water is electrolyzed to obtain electrolyzed water at a cathode side in the first electrolytic chamber. The electrolyzed water is then electrolyzed at an anode side in a second electrolytic chamber which houses an anode plate and a cathode plate with an ion-permeable membrane interposed therebetween, for thereby generating hydroxyl radicals in the electrolyzed water. The electrolyzed water containing the hydroxyl radicals is added to water containing an organic substance to cause the hydroxyl radicals to attack to the organic substance for thereby decomposing the organic substance.

The method of the invention provides means of destroying highly stable metal cyanide ions found in a solution, and converting the cyanide to harmless by-products. Contrary to conventional methods which merely complex the cyanide into a mechanically or physically removable complex, the present method destroys the cyanide found in the sample. The invention is directed to a method of destroying cyanide comprising providing a highly alkaline solution containing a metal cyanide ions; and subjecting the solution to electro-oxidation.
