This study examined emissions of unintentionally produced persistent organic pollutants (POPs) from fabric filters in aluminum alloy smelting plants. The results are expected to indicate means of reducing these emissions from sources, such as metal smelting furnaces, where emission control by existing exhaust gas treatments is insufficient. Measurement of dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) concentrations in fabric filters revealed their formation at around 100℃, at which temperatures these by-products were presumed to be formed only slightly. In laboratory experiments using fly ash collected from fabric filters, formation was confirmed below 100℃ by long-term heating of more than 18 hr or preheating above the set temperature. This heating was regarded as necessary for reactivation of the catalysts in fly ash. Comparison of fly ash samples collected from three plants elucidated that water-soluble chlorides such as potassium chloride were the principal source of chlorine during formation at low temperatures. This comparison led to the inference that water spraying of flue gas is effective for reducing dioxins and PCB emissions from aluminum alloy smelting plants.

Material recycling is a meaningful way to reduce environmental impacts and costs simultaneously. Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has realized “closed-loop recycling from household appliances to household appliances” in which polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) are collected from a mixture of residual plastics contained in discarded household appliances and sorted for recycling. In this research, the dark-colored recycled PP and the light-colored recycled PP were separated from the mixed-colored recycled PP using a color sorter, and the recycled PP was polished using a plastic polisher to remove surface contamination. As the number of surface polishings of the recycled PP increased, the heat life became longer, so a clear correlation was seen between the heat life and the amount of contamination. From the relationship between the amount of residual copper in the recycled PP and the heat life, it is necessary to set the amount of residual copper in light-colored recycled PP to less than 3 ppm in order to obtain a heat resistance comparable to that of virgin PP without adding a metal deactivator.

The Ministry of Environment Notification has defined no analytical method for recycled material resources. However, because an appropriate resource evaluation system is necessary, we compared the contents of WEEE and molten metal found using several methods. The methods included matte fusion, which is used for the evaluation of resources in the field of nonferrous metal smelting, and chemical analysis using test methods outlined in Notification No. 19 of the Ministry of the Environment, provisional analytical methods for precious and rare metals in electric and electronic products (“provisional analysis method”). The content values obtained using the test methods in Notification No. 19 were lower than those obtained using the other method, but the provisional analysis method seems to be suitable for use as a screening test. Although the reproducibility of analysis using the provisional analysis method was lower than that of the matte fusion method, both methods provided comparable content values. Matte fusion is difficult to imple-ment except by the refining industry. For various and diverse metals, provisional analysis is useful by environmental laboratories operated by local governments. Therefore, the provisional analysis method is expected to be used by local governments for analyses conducted in the resource recycling field.

We devised a new pretreatment to analyze asbestos in gypsum boards that are discarded when building new structures and demolishing old ones. In this pretreatment, crushed gypsum board powder is dissolved in a water solution of ammonium formate. Then, insoluble asbestos can be separated on filter paper for XRD analysis. This pretreatment is simpler than the determination of asbestos in building material products (JIS A 1481), and XRD analysis can confirm chrysotile of 0 . 1 wt% or greater in gypsum. This method can only be applied for the analysis of gypsum, but it can be used effectively for confirming asbestos in amounts of 0 . 1 wt% or greater in the gypsum for the purpose of avoiding asbestos in it.
