Waste disposal, viii

After sealing the head, the exterior of the drum shall be decontaminated and then labeled IAW EPA and DOT regulations. All leaking containers shall be overpacked with vermiculite placed between the interior and exterior containers. Decontaminate and label IAW EPA and DOT regulations. Dispose of the material IAW waste disposal methods provided below. Dispose of material used to decontaminate exterior of drum IAW Federal, state and local regulations. Conduct general area monitoring with an approved monitor (see Section VIII) to confirm that the atmospheric concentrations do not exceed the airborne exposure limit (see Sections II and VIII).

In view of the purification and waste disposal problems with the chromium oxidations catalytic methods with ruthenium catalysts are more attractive. Ruthenium(Vlll) oxide is a strong oxidant that will also oxidize alkenes, alkynes, sulfides, and in some cases benzyl ethers. The method is compatible with glycosidic linkages, esters and acetals, and is usually carried out in a biphasic solvent system consisting of water and a chlorinated solvent. Acetonitrile or a phase-transfer catalyst has been shown to further promote the oxidation [29,30]. Normally, a periodate or a hypochlorite salt serve as the stoichiometric oxidant generating rutheni-um(VIII) oxide from either ruthenium(IV) oxide or ruthenium(III) chloride [30]. 

Recommendation VIII-11 of the VIII ATCM (Oslo, 1975), quoting Recommendation VI-4 and Recommendation VII-11, asks the governments to observe a code of conduct dealing with waste disposal and environmental impact assessment. Another recommendation of the Oslo ATCM, Recommendation VIII-13, deals with the protection of the Antarctic environment. It prescribes the use of protective measures for the environment, the prediction of possible environmental modifications and the monitoring of changes in the environment. This is the first clear mention of the need to protect the environment, to perform an assessment of possible impacts and to monitor the environmental changes.
