AMINE SCRUBBER SOLUTION SAFE HANDLING GUIDE AMINE RECOVERY PROGRAM Introduction The use of amines in the foundry industry dates back to the introduction of the Phenolic Urethane Cold Box Process in (PUCB) 1967. Low boiling point amines provided the chemical means to introduce catalysts into closed box tooling, containing sand mixtures, and achieve a near instantaneous cure of the sand core. The commercial development of this cold curing chemical process required vapor generation and containment systems related to the handling of the amine catalyst, and disposal methods associated with the uncon- sumed catalyst which was invariably a part of the process. Chemical scrubber technology was widely used in the chemical industry when the PUCB was introduced, and this technology was quickly applied to capturing the amine effluent as it exited the core making ma- chines. The use of chemical scrubbers operating with phosphoric and sulfuric acid became the preferred amine vapor capture method which effectively removed the amine VOC’s from the carrier gas prior to dis- charge into the atmosphere. However, the disposal of the saturated scrubber solution (amine sulfate) pre- sented an issue which became more significant as municipal treatment facilities and regulatory agencies im- posed more restrictions on liquid waste disposal. An alternative to liquid waste disposal is available, which involves the recovery of amine from the amine sul- fate solution scrubber solution. The chemistry of the recovery requires a chemical reaction with the amine sulfate solution and
