HARTOLDMONO013063 Analytical Chemistry Soecial Stvdv 70-32 Job No. 1630346 STUDY OF THE COMPLETERSS OF THERMAL- OXIDATION OF POLYCHLORINATED SIPHENYLS AT JOHN ZINK POLLUTION RESEARCH INTRODUCTION . An integral part of .the Aroclor-Environment Program is the de-velopment of an effective means of disposing of waste FC3J.S, One such proposed technique, thermal oxidation, has been tested on three PC3 containing materials, Arocior 1242, Intereen PPG, and A.roclor 1260, These tests were carried out by John Zink Pollution Research, a division of the John Zink Co,, at Tulsa, Okla, This special study reports the results of PC3, HC1 and - CI2 analyses of stack gas samples collected during the inciner ation tests by Wilson-Wright Petroleum Laboratories. SUMMARY PCS analysis of all stack cas samples indicates that th^n^1 oxidationIk~i p,nnQ.p tn ?r>nhOK ran na -an p.f fprt.s vp. means of -'--destroying waste PCB's. The data is presented in Table I, DISCUSSION Each of the three test materials were.incinerated by John Zink personnel at three temperatures - 1600F, 1800? and 2000F. The equipment and conditions employed v;ere reported to Monsanto by the John Zink Co. A-copy of the data table is attached. Stack cas samples were collected at three points by the Wilscn- Wright Petroleum laboratory personnel at each- temperature with each material. The details of the sampling procedures employed appear in the V7iIson-Wright report of 3-10-70, file number 114?.; a copy of this report is also attached. , Tne samples (aqueous caustic and toluene) were prepared for- analysis in the following manner. After obtaining a total weight for each caustic sample, 5 and 10 ml aliquots were taken for chloride and chlorine analysis. Total chloride was determined according to Analytical Chemistry Method #68-11 and chlorine as sodium hypochlorite, ' The remaining, caustic sample was extracted with toluene to re move any entrained PCB's, the extract combined with the toluene sample, and then evaporated to less than 5 ml, Tne concentrated toluene was chromatographed on Alumina, concentrated, and the PCS content estimated by electron capture1 cas chromatography (EC/GC), '^'.r^-'ra r. ^r.- T1 - :Tr' ' n iJ 0007120 .ft ii iri'uit HARTOLDMONO013064 Special Study 70-12 Page 2. The EC chromatograms -were quantitated by integrating the EC envelope over the region that the corresponding PCB standard material eluted and the amount present estimated from a cali bration plot of integrated area versus concentration. Calculation in this .manner eliminates EC active materials that elude earlier than 1e standard (chlorobenzenes, etc.). The amount of total Organic chlorine present was determined in nine selected samples according to Analytical Method 66-30 for comparison with the estimated amounts of PCB's. .

This absorbing bottle was _ kept in a water bath. 2 vrurr:rips vre: r The gas was drawn through tygon tubing into the second gas absorp tion tube; through a gas sampling tube and metered with a dry test, meter. Laboratory vacuum pumps were used to draw the gas through' r the sampling train. : err hhc.r- . PROCEDURE r. v. Two of the quartz sampling tubes were inserted to the centerline. of the thermo oxidizer. The third tube was inserted until its x tip was even with the centerline of the exhaust stack; The samp ling tube was connected to the primary absorber which, had been . . filled with 175 ml of 2 N Sodium Hydroxide solution. This was . then connected to the second scrubber which had been filled with sufficient AR Grade Toluene to cover the sintered glass tube. The . gas sample tube was connected in and the vacuum pump started. ; Approximately 1 cubic foot of gas sample was drawn through the train in 8 minutes. The gas sample tube ana train disassembled; The caustic solution in the primary absorber was poured into a . glass bottle and the absorber rinsed three times with distilled . * water into the glass bottle. The absorber was then.rinsed with . toluene and this rinse put into a seco'nd class bottle. The toluene ' solution in the second absorber, was peure'e into the secor.c-glass bottle.

A stainless steel tube 1/2 inch outside diameter vas used, and this sample taken after the other two samples had * been taken. The stainless steel tube was deformed by the heat and was approximately 8 inches below the centerline. The quartz tube at the first point also was deformed by the heat. It was broken by its forced removal through the sampling port. On succeeding runs, the quartz sampling tubes were inserted until the tips were 24 inches from the thermo oxidizer center line. . * , A stronger cuastic, 2 N was used after the first two runs. The . . washing of the sample tube was done after the third run. The caustic scrubbers were washed with toluene after the fourth run. \ Three materials were oxidized at three different temperatures. Gas in the oxidizer was sampled at three different points. Twenty-seven (27) samples of each; caustic, toluene, and gas were taken, a total of 81. . ,. .... -. .... The toluene samples were put in a polyethylene bag. This was packed" into an oil absorbent material. The caustic samples were put in a polyethylene bag and packed in styrene beeds. * . ' . Three of the gas samples, runs 2, 5 and 8, at sampling point 2 were analyzed and are reported. These are only indicative of conditions as the water vapor .and some of the carbon dioxide have been deleted from the sample. .' ' ' The chloride content of three other gas samples were measured to check the efficacy of the scrubbing train. No chlorides (less than 10 ppm.) were detected in these samples. ... The' metered gas volumes were corrected for -temperature and pressure t to standard cubic feet at 60eF. and 14.7 psia. This was multiplied ' by 1.196 and reported as gram mols of gas. ` . . v .

Engineering Gentlemen: Enclosed you will findr a table of the data that resulted from the tests that we ran for you on March 10. Vie managed to com plete all nine of the tests that you asked for, finishing about $ o'clock that night. . . The Aroclor 1260 burned very nicely, hut it did require a bit more fuel than the other two wastes in order to burn with a nice stable vortex. He also, had no trouble at all pumping and hand ling the Aroclor 1260 once we had the pipes and gun parts hot. The residence times we ended up with are in a very good range for comparison with analytical results. I feel these results . will'give us a good idea of what we need in the way of residence time -in a commercial size unit in order to assure complete de- . struction of"the waste material. I feel that the tests were quite sucessful and I hope you find the results useful. If you have any questions about the tests or any future questions- about the commercial size equipment involved, please feel free to call on usV ` Yours truly, OOKN 21HK COMPANY AKR-.s'lc' Enclosure pnr-^r '0007136 HARTOLDMON0013080  .
