Abstract
Methods for the treatment of metallic particles such as heavy metal particles and objects contaminated with the metallic particles. For the treatment of objects contaminated with the metallic particles, a stabilizing composition may be applied to the object with or without a fixation agent. For the treatment of free-flowing metallic particles, an agglomeration agent may be used with or without a stabilizing agent.
Claims30
A method for the treatment of an object that is contaminated with metallic particles of a heavy metal deposited on a surface of the object, comprising the step of applying a stabilizing composition to the object, where the stabilizing composition comprises a liquid carrier and a heavy metal stabilizing agent.
A method for the treatment of a filter that is contaminated with metallic lead particles deposited on a surface of the filter, comprising the step of applying a stabilizing composition to the filter, where the stabilizing composition comprises a liquid carrier and a heavy metal stabilizing agent that is at least partially solubilized in the liquid carrier, wherein the heavy metal stabilizing agent has a solubility in the liquid carrier of at least about 10 g/100 mL.
A method for the treatment of rubber that is contaminated with metallic lead particles deposited in a surface of the rubber, comprising the step of applying a stabilizing composition to the filter, where the stabilizing composition comprises a liquid carrier and a heavy metal stabilizing agent, and applying a fixation agent to the rubber.
