Objective
Cleaning and degreasing processes play an crucial role in
determining the prosperties of a surface and thereby
affect subsequent treatment or uses. The objective of
the proposed project is to identify replacements for
chlorinated solvents used in cleaning process and to
optimise aqueous cleaning including recycling and waste
water treatment. The project will also include develpment
and formulation of chemicals and cleaning solutions that
are environmentally acceptable and suitable for
recycling. A very important issue that will be addressed
is the use of closed loop systems so as to reduce
consumption of water. This is especially significant for
industry in southern Europe, where water is an expensive
commodity. Direct industrial application of the research
lies in metal cleaning process optimised with respect to
quality assurance, increased productivity, waste
minimisation, development of environmentally adapted
chemicals, reuse of water and valuable raw materials, and
a decreased cost for the cleaning. The project will
increase knowledge about the entire cleaning process so
as to achieve a stable and efficient process. The project
includes the use of novel technologies with special focus
given to techniques that can be used for cleaning of the
surface, as well as changing its properties. The
introduction of optimised metal cleaning process will
benefit the competitiveness of the European industry with
respect to improved production quality. Alternatives to
the use of chlorinated solvents is also expected to be an
important issue for the marketing of future European
products. Collaboration between project partners will
assure that an European network will be established,
which will be advantageous for future work. The results
from this project will be of particular interest for
SMEs and will increase their competitiveness due to cost
and time efficient cleaning processes which are also more
environmentally friendly.
