	Process Technology:
	Your choices are...
	Abatement / Containment		Abatement can be accomplished by removal or cleanup of the contaminant, or by encasing and limiting further release of the hazardous material or chemical. The release of material is sometimes accomplished by installation of a lining or barrier system. Primary and secondary containment systems are available. In cases where the primary containment fails, the secondary system prevents further leakage or leaching of hazardous materials. A tank or vessel would constitute a primary containment system, while a secondary containment system would include a liner or barrier around or below the tank or vessel. In cases where the primary containment fails, the secondary system prevents further leakage or leaching of hazardous materials into the environment.
	Acylation / Alkylation (e.g., Friedel-Crafts)		Acylation synthesis produces deactivated monoacylates through an electrophilic, aromatic substitution reaction between arenes and acyl chlorides or anhydrides. In the Friedel-Crafts alkylation processes, the electrophilic aromatic substitution is catalyzed by a Lewis-acid and produces alkylated products through the reaction of arenes with alkyl halides or alkenes. Alkyl groups can activate arene, resulting in polyalkylated products. Typically, Friedel-Crafts reactions for alkylation or acylation of aromatic compounds are catalyzed by aluminum chloride or other Lewis acids.
	Atomization / Powder Production		Powders are produced through an atomization, spray drying, milling, precipitation, or other proprietary process.
	Blending / Mixing		Mixers or blenders are driven by a shaft, speed reducer, or electric motor.

	Conversion / Forming		Conversion processes compact, form, cut or otherwise converts materials into different shapes or forms.
	Crushing / Compacting		Waste products are crushed, compacted, used for storage, contaminant extraction, or recycling. For example, used oil filters or containers are often crushed to extract any remaining waste oil.
	Crystallization		Crystallization cools a liquid solution or evaporates a solvent in order to form solid, solute crystals. As they leave the crystallizer, the slurry crystals are often forced through a circulation evaporator and may subsequently be separated from the liquid in a filter or centrifuge.
	Demolition / Excavation		Demolition or excavation to remove scrap materials, wastes or contaminated materials from a site are available.
	Destruction (Shredding, Incineration, etc.)		Destruction can be accomplished through a variety of processes such as shredding, crushing, pulverizing, melting, burning or incinerating. Destruction can include removal of any company labels, stickers and other forms of identification. The destruction of computers and electronics devices often includes the deletion and subsequent physical destruction of data stored on tapes, floppies, CD's, hard drives, or other storage media.
	Distillation		Distillation applies and removes heat in order to separate a liquid or vapor mixture of two or more substances into component fractions of a desired purity. Chemicals and conditions determine which distillation processes can be used. Examples include no-pressure distillation, vacuum distillation, steam distillation, molecular distillation, and thin film distillation.
	Drying / Freeze Drying		Drying uses evaporation, sublimation, or freeze-drying processes to remove liquids or moisture from bulk solids, powders, parts, continuous sheets or other liquids.
	Encapsulation / Encasement		Encapsulation entraps or encases a hazardous material to contain the pollutant for abatement, shipping, and/or storage purposes.
	Esterification		In the Fischer-Speier esterification method, esterification of acids occurs by refluxing with excess alcohol in the presence of hydrogen chloride or other acid catalysts.
	Evaporation		Evaporation is thermal separation or thermal concentration process that removes liquid from a solution, suspension, or emulsion by boiling.
	Fermentation / Biotransformations		Fermentation is used in the production of drugs, foodstuffs and beverages. The process uses fermentation, biological catalysts or enzymatic compounds, microrganisms, and other biological agents or biotransformations to process or synthesize products. Enzymes are very effective at breaking down certain proteins. Composting is a biotransformation process that uses bacteria to break down organic waste.
	Filtration / Extraction		Molecular sieve filtration often uses a porous molecular structure that selectively adsorbs or rejects molecules based on differences in molecular size or shape.
	Formulation		Formulas are developed for chemical, polymer, or material intensive products. Formulas provide ingredients, amounts, and processing instructions.
	Granulation / Agglomeration		Granulation, pelletization, briquetting or agglomerations are size enlargement processes.

	Halogenation (e.g., Fluorination / Chlorination)		Halogenation is the reaction, chemical combination or exposure of water or other chemicals to fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine or other halogens. Exposing water to chlorine can destroy biological contaminants. Halogenation processes include fluorination, chlorination, bromination, electrolytic fluorination and iodination as well as related processes such as iodine recovery.
	Hydroformylation / Formylation		Hydroformylation or formylation reactions such as Duff, Gattermann-Koch or Vilsmeier-Haack are performed. In Duff reactions, the formylation of phenols or aromatic amines with hexamethylenetetramine uses an acidic catalyst. Gattermann-Koch reactions are catalyzed by using aluminum chloride at high-pressure in order to achieve the formylation of benzene, alkylbenzenes or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with carbon monoxide and hydrogen chloride. Formylation of the amino acids in proteins is a naturally occurring process.
	Hydrogenation		Hydrogenation is the reaction of hydrogen with another chemical or raw material. For example, Sorbital is formed through the hydrogenation of corn syrup. Formylation of the amino acids in proteins is a naturally occurring process. Fischer Tropsch (gas to liquids) or linear alpha olefin hydroformylation processes are used in the production of synthetic oils fluids. In the Fischer Tropsch reaction or Synthol process, hydrocarbons, aliphatic alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones are synthesized by the catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide using synthesis gas enriched from the passage of steam over heated coke. The Bergius reaction is used to synthesize petroleum-like hydrocarbons by the hydrogenation of coal at high temperatures and pressures (~ 450°C @ 300 atm) with or without catalysts.

	Aluminum / Aluminum Alloy		Aluminum and aluminum alloys are light weight, non-ferrous metals with good corrosion resistance, ductility and strength. Aluminum is relatively easy to fabricate by forming, machining or welding. It is a good electrical and thermal conductor. Aluminum is also useful as an alloying element in steel and titanium alloys. Aluminum alloys are versatile metals with applications in almost every industrial and commercial segment.
	Cobalt / Cobalt Alloy		Cobalt and cobalt alloys are non-ferrous magnetic alloys with high strength and toughness, excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance, and high temperature strength. Cobalt can also be magnetized. Cobalt's properties result in the use of cobalt alloys in jet engine super-alloy components, prosthetic devices, magnets, and cutting tool binders. Cobalt is a useful alloying element in tool, maraging and other alloy steels.
	Copper / Copper Alloy		Copper and copper alloys are non-ferrous metals with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity as well as good corrosion resistance, ductility and strength. Copper alloys are relatively easy to fabricate by forming, casting or machining. Pure copper is more difficult to weld, cast or machine. Brass, tin bronze, leaded brass, beryllium copper and zirconium copper are examples of copper alloys.

Refractory metals and alloys are metals with melting points above ~1750 C (~ 32000 F). Refractory metals include tungsten tantalum, molybdenum, niobium, and zirconium. Refractory metals are used in high temperature, structural, electrical, and other specialty applications. Reactive metals combine readily with oxygen at elevated temperatures to form very stable oxides. Titanium, zirconium, and beryllium are considered reactive metals. Finely divided reactive metals can react explosively with oxygen and are often added to rocket fuels or combustible mixtures. A highly stable oxide film formed on the alloy surface provides protection against further oxidization or corrosion at low to moderate temperatures. Reactive metals can become embrittled if there is too much interstitial absorption into the lattice of oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen.
	Stainless Steel		Stainless steels are highly corrosion resistant, ferrous alloys that contain chromium and/or nickel additions. There are three basic types of products: austenitic stainless steels, ferritic and martensitic stainless steels, and specialty stainless steels and iron superalloys. Austenitic stainless steels (AISI 300 / 200 Series) are highly corrosion resistant, ferrous alloys that contain chromium and nickel or manganese additions. Generally, austenitic stainless steels are more corrosion resistant than ferritic or martensitic stainless steels. Annealed austenitic stainless steels are non-magnetic. Cold working is used to harden austenitic stainless steels because these alloys do not respond to conventional quench and temper hardening processes. Ferritic and martensitic stainless steels are highly corrosion resistant, ferrous alloys that contain chromium and/or carbon additions. Ferritic stainless steels are soft, easy to form metal alloys. Cold working is used to harden ferritic stainless steels because these alloys do not respond to conventional quench and temper hardening processes. Ferritic stainless steels are formed to fabricate mufflers and other sheet metal components that require good corrosion resistance. Martensitic stainless steels can be hardened by a conventional quench and temper operation. Martensitic stainless steels are used for knife blades, tooling or other applications that require good corrosion resistance combined with higher hardness and wear resistance. Specialty stainless steels and iron superalloys are highly corrosion resistant, ferrous alloys containing chromium, nickel or other alloying additions to provide high strength or heat resistance. Duplex and precipitation hardening stainless steels belong in this category.

	Scrap, Waste or Environmental Source
	Your choices are...
	Asbestos		Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous silicate mineral that was widely used a filler and reinforcement in materials due to its strength, chemical, insulative ability and thermal stability. Common types of asbestiform minerals include chrysotile, amosite and crocidolite. Chrysotile was the source for 95% of asbestos used industrially. When separated or milled the minerals breakdown in long, threadlike fibers. Asbestos causes lung cancer when the fibers are inhaled. Older pipe or thermal insulation in factories or buildings still contains asbestos, which requires professional abatement or removal.

Non-aqueous liquid spills or contamination can consist of LNAPLs or DNAPLs. LNAPLs are light non-aqueous phase liquids that are sparingly soluble in water and less dense than water. Oil is an example of an LNAPL because it "floats" on top of water and does not mix with water. LNAPLs collect at the water table between surface water and ground water regions. DNAPLs or dense non-aqueous phase liquids include separate-phase hydrocarbon liquids that are denser than water, such as chlorinated solvent, wood preservative wastes, coal tar wastes and pesticides. These collect at the bottom of the aquifer, well or ground water region. Soluble inorganic or heavy metal salt solutions can also contaminate water, soil and building sites.
