Responsible care: product stewardship for refrigerants.

Author(s) : MEURER C., PREISEGGER E.

Summary

The paper describes a European manufacturer's approach for the following products beyond their production and through their complete lifetime to fluorinated refrigerants. Even though the producer of the substances fulfils essential tasks within the concept, it requires co-operation with others who are involved during the product's lifetime. The paper focuses on primary recycling of refrigerants, i.e. processing used refrigerants to fresh product specifications. Secondary recycling refers to the product that for different reasons cannot be processed into fresh material quality. The paper also describes a thermal separation unit, that provides secondary recycling to hydrofluoric acid, and hydrochloric acid: substances that are widely used both in the chemical industry and in other industries.
