Disposal of capacitors

Capacitor recycling (collection and treatment of hazardous capacitor waste) is a complex and multi-step process that should not be neglected. At the expiration of the life of such devices can not be stored or thrown away, because they contain harmful substances. For the production of capacitors dialectic liquid is used, which consists of polychlorinated biphenyls: hexol and sovtol. These substances are very toxic and can affect human health and the environment. In addition, in the process of using and storing condensers, they form other toxic substances that also have an adverse effect on the environment. That is why competent processing and neutralization of capacitors are so important.

What damage do unutilized capacitors do?

Sovtol belongs to persistent organic pollutants, which are considered dangerous for humanity and nature, despite their chemical and physical characteristics. Polychlorinated biphenyls easily penetrate the soil and can be there for many decades. From the soil they freely fall into the air and water.

Polychlorinated substances have a special effect on human health. Accumulating in the cells of the body, biphenyls lead to a decrease in immunity, the development of oncological diseases, hepatic and renal pathologies. Also, PCB substances have an adverse effect on the nervous system and provoke the development of dermatological pathologies (eczema, neurodermatitis, etc.).

The ingress of polychlorinated biphenyls into the body of a pregnant woman can cause congenital fetal abnormalities. Such children have weak immunity and lag behind in physical, intellectual development. In addition, polychlorinated biphenyls lead to the development of mutagenic processes, therefore, the utilization of capacitors (management of hazardous waste capacitors) should be carried out in accordance with established standards and requirements.

The process and methods of disposal of capacitors

Before proceeding to the disposal of spent capacitors, electrical devices are transported in a specially equipped equipment to the place of processing. Regardless of the method of disposal (except for disposal), the processing of capacitors consists of the following steps:

• discharge and neutralization of sovtol;
• condenser treatment with special solvents;
• disassembly of the device into sections and their processing;
• recovery solvent;
• flushing the device from residues of polychlorinated biphenyls;
• recycle capacitor casing.

Polychlorinated capacitors can be disposed of by thermal, biological, plasma, and chemical methods. The most popular method of disposal of capacitors is burial. However, from a security point of view, it is not the most suitable. For the processing of such devices is better to use several methods.
