There are many more applications for solvent
recyclers. These range from recycling common laboratory glassware
cleaning solvents such as acetone to recycling Freon and Freon substitutes
used to clean parts of the space shuttle.
The scope is so large that all the applications
cannot be detailed here. But if you have questions about recycling a
specific solvent, please
contact us.
In general the bigger the difference in boiling point
between a solvent and the contaminant the easier it is to recycle.
It is also important to check to see if the solvent
azeotropes with any of the contaminants. An azeotrope
is an interaction between two chemicals that cause them to form a constant
boiling mixture. Azeotropes can complicate the solvent recycling
process and need to be taken into account when designing a solvent
recycling program.
Of course the end result of any solvent recycling
program should be significant cost savings. The savings come from
both a reduction in the purchase of new solvent and the reduction in
disposal costs for the waste solvent. The solvent recycler should
pay for itself in a reasonable period of time. Once it has paid for
itself, the solvent recycler generates income for the owner with
each batch that is processed. As a bonus, solvent recycling benefits
the environment by putting solvent in a never ending cycle of use and
reuse.
