Pollution Prevention Activities for Selected Chemical
Reporting Year | Section 8.10: Newly Implemented Source Reduction Activity | Section 8.10: Methods to Identify Activity | Section 8.11: Optional Pollution Prevention Information* |
---|---|---|---|
2021 |
Source Reduction:: S22: Instituted recirculation within a process[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
S22: Opened and previously closed recirculation valve to return nitric fumes from a chilled pre-scrubber to the reactor that the nitric acid is added to. Source Reduction - EHS observed levels in an overflo tank that were high and a meeting revealed the opportunity to recirculate the acid |
2019 |
Source Reduction:: W89: Other product modifications[-0-4%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T03: Materials balance audits
|
W89: Increased focus on COGS, resulting in reduced production of powders for sale on the market. Instead powders produced to feed Flake operations. |
2018 |
Barriers: B1-Barriers to P2 B1 - Insufficient capital to install new source reduction equipment or implement new source reduction activities/initiat
|
Barriers to P2: B1 - Insufficient capital to install new source reduction equipment or implement new source reduction activities/initiat - Equipment upgrade for this process is planned in 2020. |
|
2017 |
Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies.
|
Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Nitric acid is used in production of silver powder. |
|
2015 |
Source Reduction:: W50: Optimized reaction conditions or otherwise increased efficiency of synthesis
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
|
W50: Increase the conversion rate of Silver to Silver Nitrate to effectively use less Nitric Acid |
2012 | Source Reduction - Usage increased as powder production increased, however, it was used more efficiently due to the production of a powder with a higher yield per batch. |
