Ss. Kulkarni et al., A NOVEL METHOD OF PROCESSING OF SOLID-WASTES - RECOVERY OF VALUABLES FROM BLACK-ASH PROCESS SLUDGE, Industrial & engineering chemistry research, 37(6), 1998, pp. 2228-2231
A novel method of processing of solid wastes from chemical industries
is described. Black-ash sludge from barium chemical industries can be
a source of barium chloride, which on reaction with sodium adipate giv
es barium adipate. The kinetics of calcination of barium adipate formi
ng barium carbonate as a solid and cyclopentanone as a gaseous product
is discussed.
