The recycling of industrial chemicals has become very important to industry not only because of the potential for decreases in costs and increases in efficiency, but also the reduction of environmental impact. Many industrial chemical wastes however, are quite difficult to separate into high purity materials so that they may be recycled. The implementation of new separation techniques using carbon dioxide may offer new more efficient and environmentally friendly methods than those currently used. The use of these separation techniques will be applied to three industrial waste streams identified by Fielding Chemical Technologies Inc. as problematic. Initial testing and optimization of the processes will be undertaken during this internship.
