Source Reduction of Chlorinated Solvents in Electronics Industry
نویسنده
چکیده
Chlorinated solvents are a class of interrelated chemicals that have gone through major regulatory scrutiny in recent years. A number of chlorinated solvents are used in the electronics industry in printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication and assembly; semiconductor wafer fabrication and assembly; and critical cleaning applications. The growth in the electronics industry in the last few decades has been significant. This growth has resulted in a similar growth in the use of chlorinated solvents for cleaning purposes.

The chlorinated solvent, methylene chloride (also known as dichloromethane) has been used in industry for over 80 years. Its unique combination of properties low boiling point, high solvency power, relative inertness, low toxicity and non flammability has led to its wide variety of applications, such as paint and varnish removal, as an extraction medium/process solvent, and in aerosols, electro...

The chlorinated solvents tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) have been used extensively in industry and are now amongst the most common and hazardous groundwater contaminants (National Research Council, 2004). These solvents are typically present as dense, non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) and represent long-term source zones that produce persistent contamination plumes in aquife...

Aerobic cometabolism recognizes that microorganisms can transform non-growth supporting substrates. The term "cometabolism" was first introduced over 30 years ago and has been redefined, criticized, and used widely ever since. In this review we have examined the cometabolism of chlorinated solvents. These transformations are initiated by monooxygenases or dioxygenases with relaxed substrate ran...

Complete mineralization of chlorinated solvents by microbial action has been demonstrated under aerobic as well as anaerobic conditions. In most of the cases, it is believed that the biodegradation is initiated by broad-specificity enzymes involved in metabolism of a primary substrate. Under aerobic conditions, some of the primary carbon and energy substrates are methane, propane, toluene, phen...
