Environmental impact assessment of CFCs recycling technology and retrofitting of refrigeration machinery.

Author(s) : NOWOTNY S., GESSESE N.

Summary

The input/output material balance flow technique combined with life cycle assessment methodology proposed by the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) "Code of Practice" was applied to compare both the recovery of CFCs from domestic refrigerators and recycling of the purified refrigerant on one hand, and the retrofitting of refrigeration machinery with substitutes (drop-in) and decomposition of the recovered CFCs at a chemical decomposer on the other.
