Halogen-containing machine emulsions and solutions

The problem of environmental pollution is one of the most important environmental problems of our time. One source of such contamination is machining emulsions and solutions containing halogens. These substances are widely used in industry, especially in metalworking and mechanical engineering, due to their excellent cooling and lubricating properties. However, after use, these emulsions and solutions become hazardous waste that requires special handling. The importance of proper management of such waste cannot be overestimated, as it can cause significant damage to both the environment and human health.

Machining emulsions and solutions containing halogens are complex chemical mixtures used to cool and lubricate tools during metalworking. They contain water-in-oil emulsions with added chemicals, including halogens such as chlorine, fluorine, and bromine. Halogens are added to improve the performance of emulsions as they improve cooling and lubricating properties. However, after use, these emulsions turn into hazardous waste containing toxic substances that can harm the environment and human health.

The main problems with machining emulsions and solutions containing halogens include:

• high level of toxicity;
• difficulties in storage and transportation;
• requirement of special equipment and technologies for processing;
• possibility of contamination of water resources and soils;
• danger to the health of workers who handle and dispose of such waste.

Due to these problems, it is necessary to implement effective methods of ecological management of hazardous wastes of emulsions for machine processing and solutions containing halogens. This includes measures for the collection, sorting, crushing and treatment of hazardous waste, as well as technologies for their safe storage (D15) and transportation.

There are various methods of reducing damage from machining emulsions and solutions containing halogens. The main directions are the environmental management of hazardous waste, the introduction of new technologies and raising awareness of the dangers of such waste.

One ​​of the effective methods is the introduction of methods of environmental management of hazardous waste emulsions for machine processing and solutions containing halogens. This includes the organization of operations for the collection, sorting, crushing and treatment of hazardous waste (D13). This approach makes it possible to reduce the amount of waste to be processed and ensure their safe storage and transportation.

Another important direction is the introduction of new technologies that allow reducing the amount of hazardous waste (R9). This may include the use of alternative halogen-free materials or the development of new processing methods that reduce waste generation. It is also important to develop technologies for the processing and reuse of emulsions, which allows to reduce the amount of waste and reduce their negative impact on the environment.

Raising awareness of the dangers of machining emulsions and solutions containing halogens is also an important area. This may include training programs for workers handling such waste, as well as educating the public about the dangers of such substances and methods of safe disposal. Raising awareness allows you to reduce risks to human health and the environment.
