摘要:
Disclosed is an industrial cleaning process in which a contaminant comprising soldering flux and/or adhesive tape residue is removed from a substrate contaminated therewith. The process comprises the steps of contacting the substrate with a terpene-based cleaning composition which is substantially free of water-soluble organic material; removing the composition and solubilized contaminant from the substrate by contact with water having a temperature of about 70.degree. F. to about 140.degree. F. for a period of time of no longer than about 10 minutes to provide a substrate having a contamination rating of no greater than about 14 micrograms NaCl equivalent/square inch (MIL-P-28809A), and to thereby form a mixture comprising the composition, contaminant and water. The process also comprises separating the water from said mixture, the separated water being substantially free of water-soluble organic material and having a chemical oxygen demand of no greater than about 1,000 ppm.
摘要:
A method for disposing of non-polar organic wastes including the steps of dissolving the organic waste in an organic solvent which is not environmentally objectionable, in combination with a suitable surfactant, mixing the resultant solution with a quantity of water to develop an emulsion in which the organic element is effectively dispersed in the water and thereafter mixing the emulsion with cement which, when allowed to solidify, encapsulates the organic waste within the solid cementitious mass. This solid mass is suitable for disposal in a landfill or the like. This invention is useful in safely disposing of environmentally hazardous organic wastes.

Personal care products comprising bioemulsifiers, for example, those produced by Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, are provided. Use of such personal care products result in beneficial effects to skin and hair.
摘要:
Methods and compositions are provided for the removal of rosin soldering flux and adhesive tape residues from printed circuit and/or wiring boards, and for testing the quality of curing of U.V.-cured soldermask on such boards. The compositions of the invention contain terpene compounds, preferably in combination with terpene emulsifying surfactants to facilitate removal by rinsing in water.
