Destruction Technologies for Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)


Book Description

Data concerning methods for the destruction of PCBs are presented in this report. The information on the technologies was gathered from numerous sources to provide background information for future assessment or to assist in a selection process. The technologies reviewed fall into four categories: conventional incineration, novel incineration, chemical processes and physical/chemical processes.




Options for the Treatment/destruction of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) and PCB-contaminated Equipment


Book Description

Following the Saint-Basile-le-Grand fire in August 1988, an action plan was announced to destroy PCBs in use or stored at federal facilities across Canada. This report investigates and evaluates the technologies available for the treatment or destruction of PCB-containing equipment, askarel, and PCB-contaminated mineral oil, and develops options for the destruction or decontamination of PCBs and PCB-contaminated equipment.
