Recycling solvent

Solvent recycling is a serious problem faced by printing houses and many industrial enterprises working in the field of mechanical engineering, furniture production and finishing materials, manufacturing paint products. Solvents are widely used in all these areas: predominantly organic compounds that have the property of dissolving other substances well. The vast majority of them are toxic and dangerous to humans and the environment.

Specialists of the company "UtilVtorProm" carry out services for the disposal of toxic chemical compounds (management of hazardous solvent waste), ranging from the collection and removal of waste, ending with their disposal and recovery for reuse.

What are solvents?

Solvents - a large group of dissimilar chemical compounds in the liquid state of aggregation. These include a variety of alcohols, esters, fuels and lubricants, as well as water. The latter is an inorganic compound, in the above-mentioned industries it is used limitedly and practically does not pose a danger.

Spent solvents may undergo complete or partial regeneration within production. But complex mixtures, which contain several chemicals and compounds, cannot be processed by enterprises themselves (and even with economic benefits). This problem is solved by specialists of licensed organizations that dispose and neutralize toxic industrial waste.

What are dangerous solvents?

Most solvents contain halogens, acids and alkalis, which can not only harm the body through direct contact, but also pollute the environment. Solvents are also a source of toxic gases, aerosols and fine particles that can penetrate into the lungs, get on the mucous membranes and damage them. If we talk about solvents based on alcohols and fuels and lubricants, they also pose a fire hazard.

For these reasons, all waste solvents must be disposed of or recycled in accordance with legal and safety regulations. This will relieve the enterprise itself of serious fines and sanctions from the state, will reduce the environmental burden on the environment.

How are solvents recycled?

Depending on the type of substance, its physico-chemical characteristics and the degree of danger, the processing of solvents is carried out in different ways. Specialists of the company "UtilVtorProm" use several basic methods:

• Recovery. If this is possible, then by chemical reactions and / or electrolysis, the waste substances are restored to the original state for their subsequent use.
• Recycling. Many solvents can be recycled relatively safely to produce substances that are also suitable for industrial reuse.
• Destruction. Mostly used methods of burning in specialized furnaces or plasma units. At the same time, specialists ensure that combustion products do not pose a danger to the environment.
• Burial In some cases, waste has to be conserved and disposed of at landfills specifically designated for this purpose.
