Hello,

Much literature alludes to reducing hazardous waste generation from a chemical procedure by including a step or steps within the procedure to accomplish the reduction of "end-of-the-pipe" hazardous waste. Can anyone provide me with an experimental or instructional protocol that serves as an example of this concept?

A document from Battelle mentioned neutralization, separation, fixation, oxidation, precipitation, degradation and ion exchange.

 =3BI'm looking for examples of laboratory procedures into which these or other steps are incorporated specifically to reduce waste/hazardous waste generation. I'd especially like to see examples of things other than neutralization.

Thanks.

Ralph
