SGER: Foundry Industry - Pollution Prevention of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Emissions from Green Sand Molding Systems

9816232加农炮这是一个高风险、高潜力的项目，旨在研究一种减少湿砂金属铸造中挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)排放的新方法。这种污染预防将通过探索在湿砂模具中用于粘结剂的Sonperoxone过程与等离子处理技术相结合时发生的化学反应来实现。在金属铸造工业中，当液态金属和型砂/粘结剂之间发生化学反应时，一个主要问题就会出现。在清理过程中，收集和处理用过的沙子和空气中的颗粒物构成了一项主要的废物处理费用。这一拟议工艺的目的是回收大部分废砂以供再利用，并显著减少由综合工艺控制的挥发性有机化合物。它解决了目前由美国铸造学会、铸造金属联盟等人在能源部赞助下编制的《金属铸造路线图》中确定的脱碳问题。值得注意的是，这也是一个目标项目，有一个行业合作者来到学术校园合作进行实验工作。

9816232 Cannon This is a high risk, high potential project to investigate a novel method to reduce volatile organic compound ( VOCs) emissions in green sand metal casting. This pollution prevention would be accomplished by exploring the chemical reactions that take place when the sonoperoxone process for the binders in green sand molds is integrated with plasma processing techniques. In the metal casting industry, a major problem arises when chemical reactions take place between the liquid metal and the mold sand/binder. During shakeout, the collection and handling of the used sand and the airborne particulates constitutes a major waste-stream expense. This proposed process is aimed at reclaiming much of the waste sand for reuse, with significant reduction of the VOCs to be controlled by the integrated process. This addresses the decarbonization issues identified in the current Metal Casting Roadmap under construction by the American Foundrymens Society, the Cast Metals Coalition, et al under the sponsorship of the Department of Energy. It is significant that it is a GOALI project as well, with an industrial collaborator coming to the academic campus to collaborate in the experimental work.
