In this paper, we have developed a new method for detoxifying PCBs-use equipment (We used a fluorescent ballast capacitor). In the conventional detoxification treatment, the PCBs-use equipment is finely crushed by manual work etc. as a pretreatment. However, in this study, it was made possible to perform detoxification with pre-treatment by drilling several holes in the PCBs-use equipment. As a result, a significant reduction in the pretreatment process was realized. We focused that the PCBs-use equipment was made of a metal container that can be induction-heated. PCBs-use equipment is installed in a sealed quartz glass tube, and induction heating is performed by a coil outside the glass tube to heat it to about 420 [°C]. As a result, the PCBs inside the equipment was sucked out of the container and vaporized. The vaporized PCBs was detoxified by the Vacuum Induction Heating Decomposition System (previous paper) directly connected to this PCBs-use equipment heating system. By this method, a new technology was established to simultaneously process PCBs-use equipment and separated PCBs.
