Chemical Recycling
Greenleaf Environmental
Services Inc. offers chemical recycling services as a
method of chemical disposal for many chemical waste
compositions.
Chemical materials may
have liquid, sludge or solid physical characteristics.
Chemical compositions may include organic or inorganic
chemicals in aqueous solutions or non-aqueous solutions.
Organic solvents which
are flammable may be recycled through their re-use as fuel
at fuels blending operations. US EPA, for example, will
permit waste solvents with high BTU per pound value to be
fuels blended at Cement Kilns as a recycling method.
Universal wastes such
as certain types of batteries, electronic equipment and
monitors can be sent for disposal at recycling facilities.
Petroleum oil based
materials, oil/water mixtures, motor oils, hydraulic oils,
pump oils and some synthetic oils can be shipped for
disposal at recycling facilities.
Certain glycols and
glycol solutions such as spent antifreeze or chiller
solutions are also shipped for disposal by recycling
at facilities that specialize in such materials.
Inorganic chemical
compounds and aqueous solutions, which contain precious
metals, certain heavy metals and some other metals can be
sent for disposal by chemical recycling at facilities that
process material back to the original metal or to pt metal
amalgams which are smelted for other uses. Precious
metals such as gold, silver, platinum and palladium are
readily recycled. Other non-precious metal containing
compounds and solutions with metals such as nickel,
copper, tin and chromium are also sent for
recycling. Certain compounds can be shipped for such
recycling purposes whether they are hazardous,
corrosive or non-hazardous.
Recycling of mercury
containing compounds, debris, batteries and switches can
be recycled at facilities with recycling retort
operations.
Mundane items such as
empty metal drums, totes and other size containers can be
sent to recyclers for reconditioning and reuse.
