Abstract

Process for binding pollutants in production processes in casting devices comprises using a water-containing material consisting of hydrogen peroxide and foundry sand. <??>Preferred Features: The foundry sand is prepared before it is used in the production process and hydrogen peroxide is then added to it.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Binden von Schadstoffen nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a method for binding pollutants according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Es ist aus verschiedenen Veröffentlichungen bereits bekannt, H2O2 einzusetzen, um Verunreinigungen im Gießereisand möglichst Umwelt schonend zu beseitigen. (Database WPI Section Ch, Week 199737 Derwent Publications Ltd., London, GB; Class M22, AN 1977-65585Y XP002230433 & JP 52 091727 A (MFSAWA KOGYO KK) 2. August 1977 (1977-08-02); DE 197 53 254 A1; US 4 113 510 A). Bei diesem Stand der Technik wird das Wasserstoffperoxyd eingesetzt, um den Gießereisand nach einem Umlauf bei der Produktion von den aufgetretenen Verunreinigungen zu säubern.It is already known from various publications to use H 2 O 2 in order to eliminate impurities in the foundry sand as gently as possible in the environment. (Database WPI Section Ch, Week 199737 Derwent Publications Ltd, London, UK; Class M22, AN 1977-65585Y XP002230433 & JP 52 091727 A (MFSAWA KOGYO KK) August 2, 1977 (1977-08-02); DE 197 53 254 A1, US 4 113 510 A). In this prior art, the hydrogen peroxide is used to clean the foundry sand after a circulation in the production of the impurities encountered.

In Produktionsprozessen, wie beispielsweise auch in Gießereianlagen, kommt es zu Schadstoffemissionen wie beispielsweise Emissionen von Benzolen bzw. deren Vorprodukten. Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher das Problem zu Grunde, derartige Emissionen zu senken.In production processes, such as in foundry plants, there are pollutant emissions such as emissions of benzenes or their precursors. The present invention is therefore based on the problem of reducing such emissions.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch ein Verfahren nach Anspruch 1, wonach zum Binden von Schadstoffen in Produktionsprozessen in Gießereianlagen im Produktionsprozess wenigstens ein wasserhaltiger Stoff verwendet wird, wobei der wasserhaltige Stoff H2O2 enthaltender Gießereisand ist. Der Gießereisand wird dabei aufbereitet, indem dem Gießereisand vor der Verwendung im Produktionsprozess H2O2 zugegeben wird.This object is achieved by a method according to claim 1, wherein at least one hydrous substance is used for binding of pollutants in production processes in foundry plants in the production process, wherein the hydrous substance is H 2 O 2 containing foundry sand. The foundry sand is thereby processed by adding H 2 O 2 to the foundry sand prior to use in the production process.

Das Binden kann in einer chemischen Oxidations- oder Reduktionsreaktion erfolgen.The binding can be done in a chemical oxidation or reduction reaction.

Das Wasserstoffperoxyd ist ein vergleichsweise instabiler Stoff, der in ein Wassermolekül sowie ein einzelnes Sauerstoffatom zerfällt. Dieses einzelne Sauerstoffatom führt als freies Radikal wiederum schnell chemische Reaktionen aus. Durch die Zugabe von Wasserstoffperoxyd können also Schadstoffe durch eine Oxidation ausgebracht werden. Diese Schadstoffe können organische Stoffe wie beispielsweise Benzole sein. Ebenso ist auch eine Reinigung von Stäuben denkbar.Hydrogen peroxide is a relatively unstable substance that breaks down into a water molecule and a single oxygen atom. Again, this single oxygen atom, as a free radical, quickly conducts chemical reactions. By the addition of hydrogen peroxide so pollutants can be applied by oxidation. These Pollutants can be organic substances such as benzenes. Likewise, a cleaning of dusts is conceivable.

Dabei erweist es sich in Gießereianlagen als vorteilhaft, dass der Gießereisand sowieso im laufenden Produktionsprozess verwendet wird. Der Gießereisand befindet sich dabei im Umlauf. Nach einem Durchlauf des Produktionsprozesses wird der Gießereisand durch Zugabe neuer Stoffe aufbereitet, damit dieser Gießereisand die im Produktionsprozess gewünschte Zusammensetzung hat.It proves to be advantageous in foundry plants that the foundry sand is anyway used in the ongoing production process. The foundry sand is in circulation. After a pass through the production process, the foundry sand is treated by adding new substances so that this foundry sand has the desired composition in the production process.

Indem der Gießereisand bereits vor der Verwendung im Produktionsprozess mit Wasserstoffperoxyd angereichert wird, erweist es sich als vorteilhaft, dass diese Anreicherung bei der ohnehin erforderlichen Aufbereitung des Gießersandes vor dessen Verwendung im Produktionsprozess erfolgen kann. Dadurch ist kein separater Aufbereitungsschritt des Sandes notwendig. Dabei wird das Wasscrstoffperoyd dem Wasser beigegeben, so dass dem Gießersand dann also ein dotiertes Gemisch aus Wasser und Wasserstoffperoyd zugegeben wird.By the foundry sand is enriched with hydrogen peroxide already before use in the production process, it proves to be advantageous that this enrichment can be done in the already required preparation of the foundry sand prior to its use in the production process. As a result, no separate processing step of the sand is necessary. The Wasscrstoffperoyd the water is added so that the foundry sand then so a doped mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide is added.

Es hat sich bei der Beigabe des Wasserstoffperoyds als vorteilhaft erwiesen, etwa 0,1 % - 1% H2O2 im Wasser beizugeben.It has proven advantageous in the addition of the hydrogen peroxide to add about 0.1% to 1% of H 2 O 2 in the water.

Wegen des Zersetzungsprozesses hat es sich weiterhin als vorteilhaft erwiesen, die Beigabe des Wasserstoffperoxyds innerhalb einer bis zwei Stunden vor der Verwendung des Gießereisandes im Produktionsprozess vorzunehmen.Because of the decomposition process, it has also proved advantageous to add the hydrogen peroxide within one to two hours prior to the use of the foundry sand in the production process.

Claims (1)

  1. Process for binding harmful substances in production processes in foundries, wherein at least one water-containing substance is used in the production process besides the use of H2O2, characterized in that the water-containing substance is foundry sand which contains H2O2, the foundry sand being pretreated before its use in the production process by adding H2O2 in the course of the pretreatment.
