Available information on the technical and economic feasibility of the technology of high
temperature oxidation in terms of the main economic indicators i.e. the cost of manufacturing of
the installation and the cost of processing of 1 ton of PCB have shown the advantages of using
cyclone reactors [52].
However, the available information on this technology shows the expediency of its application in
large-scale elimination of PCB in the steady-state conditions. Approximate cost of a stationary
installation capable to process 1000 tons of PCB per year will be 653,000 U.S. dollars with an
estimated cost of processing equal to 320 USD per 1 ton of PCB.
Moreover, there is structural complexity, high cost of mobile version, as well as a number of
technical difficulties related to blockage of nozzles and impossibility to operate at low
temperatures.
Among similar methods of high-temperature oxidation, the method of burning up toxic waste in
a specially designed furnace can be distinguished [64], in which the combustion process is a
combination of two consecutive phases:
conversion of a hazardous substance into the gas phase;
combustion itself of vapors of dangerous substances in the furnace and their subsequent
reburning and end gas cleaning.
An experimental study of this method of disposal of hazardous waste, including the example of
the elimination of pesticides [65] has shown prospectivity of its implementation for solving the
problem of the elimination of POPs.
In addition, work in this field is being carried out within the framework of experimental
development "Agriculture", funded from the federal budget for the federal target program "The
National System of Chemical and Biological Security of the Russian Federation (2009 -
2013) . In this regard, the reworking of technologies addressed to the disposal of liquid PCB
waste and spent oil can be significantly reduced compared to the installation of a cyclone
furnace.
8.1.4 Substantiation of technology of elimination of spent technical liquids and oils as applied to
Alexandra Island
Particularities of the pollution on the island are the presence of hazardous technical liquids in
different containers and locations.
So, according to preliminary inventory in 2008, spent oils M-20V2, TAP-15V, TSC - 14gip,
IMSp 46 are in 200-L drums. According the quantitative chemical analysis, PCB content does
not exceed trace amounts in most drums.
However, the PCB content in a number of drums with oil TAP-15V and TSC - 14gip reaches
about 4.3 mg /kg. The main PCB content (more than 20.2 mg / kg) is found in sulphuric-acid
refining condenser oil, in condensers KBG-P and transformers at the destroyed storage facility
and transformer dump.
Additional studies in September 2010, showed that in addition to information received in recent
years on the location and quality of technical liquids a secondary detection and identification
occurs of hazardous PCB-containing wastes. There were found about eight new PCB sources,
located within the mapped areas.
Thus, spent technical liquidss, including those containing PCB, may be located in different
