# OPTIONAL POLLUTION PREVENTION INFORMATIO N To claim information in this section as confidential circle or bracket the specific information that you claim as confidential . 

### In this section you may provide information not reported elsewhere in this form regarding your efforts to reduce or minimise potential risks associated with activities surrounding manufacturing, processing, use and disposal of the PMN substance . Please include new information pertinent to pollution prevention, including source reduction, recycling activities and safer processes or products available due to the new chemical substance . Source reduction includes the reduction in the amount or toxicity of chemical wastes by technological modification, process and procedure modification, product reformulation, raw materials substitution, and /or inventory control . Recycling refers to the reclamation of useful chemical components from wastes that would otherwise be treated or released as air emissions or water discharges, or land disposal . Descriptions of pollution prevention, source reduction and recycling should emphasize potential risk reduction subsequent to compliance with existing regulatory requirements and can be either quantitative or qualitative . The EPA is interested in this information to assess overall net reductions in toxicity or environmental releases and exposures, not the shifting of risks to other environmental media or non-environmental areas (e .g ., occupational or consumer exposure) . In addition, information on the relative cost or performance characteristics of the PMN substance to potential alternatives may be provided . All information provided in this section will be taken into consideration during the review of this substance . See the revised Instructions Manual that includes a Pollution Prevention manual for guidance and examples . Describe the expected net benefits, such as (1) an overall reduction in risk to human health or the environment ; (2) a reduction in the volume manufactured ; (3) a reduction in the generation of waste materials through recycling, source reduction or other means ; (4) a reduction in potential toxicity or human exposure and/or environmental release ; (5) an increase in product performance, a decrease in the cost of production and/or improved operation efficiency of the new chemical substance in comparison to existing chemical substances used in similar applications ; or (6) the extent to which the new chemical substance may be substitute for an existing substance that poses a greater overall risk to human health or the environment . 

### PMN substance is a new ether solvent which is used in chemical reaction for manufacturing of pharmaceuticals or specialty Chemicals . It could replace some of universal solvents which are considered to be harmful, such as tert-Butyl methyl ether, (MTB), Diisopropylether, Dioxane and Tetrahydrofuran (THF) . The PMN substance has superior separation properties relative to some of the existing solvents and yields a lower quantity of peroxide byproducts that reduces the amount of solvent needed in manufacturing applications of this chemical .

### <Supply> The PMN substance is synthesized in Japan . The PMN substance is liquid and transported in stainless-steel containers of vary ing sizes that typically hold about 1,000 kg to 10,000 kg of PMN substance . 

### <At use > PMN substance is an industrial solvent that is used in chemical reactions . The main market is pharmaceutical indust ry an d there is some potential market in special ty chemicals indust ry . At sites of use, PMN substance is loaded into holding tanks using automatic pump or pipelines . Typical size of chemical reaction is 0 .1 M' - I OM' and the typical amount of PMN substance used in one batch is approximately 100 to 900 kg . The chemical reaction may involve heating reaction at up to 100 degrees Celsius (below boiling point of PMN substance, ca .106 degree C) . The reaction process typica lly takes place one to two days . The reactor and equipments are closed system and has a standard designed to prevent release of volatile compounds into the working environment, but usually 100% containment cannot be achieved . The operation is automated process and is monitored by one or two workers who wear standard protective equipment such as glove, vapor mask, goggles and protective clothing . The operation sites are equipped with local air ventilation system . Worker exposure to PMN substanc e at operation site is at a negligible level .

Continuation Sheet for Page 10 ; Part II . Section B . 1 . 

## <Separation / Distillation > After chemical reaction to obtain intended substance, PMN substance which is not incorporated to the resulting substances is separated out and purified for re-use . The purifi cation process yields a waste residue and unusable PMN substance which is disposed of by incinera ti on . The loss of PMN substance at one reac tion is about 10% to the total amount used . In some cases, water is used to separate out the intended chemical product from the reac tion mass . In the water layer resulting from this process contains PMN substance at its water solubility level ( ca .l g/L) . The resulting water is put through the distillation process and the most of the dissolved components are separated out before the water is released to water treatment system of the industrial sites . The resulting residue is disposed of by incinerati on . 

### <Cleaning of equipment > At comple tion of reac ti on process, the equipment is cleaned typically using water . The resul ting water is treated in the same way as desc ribed above . 

### <Simplified process description, Polymer solvent> The PMN substance may be used in polymer processing, although this is not major target field at this stage . This usage may involve a process to dissolve a polymer with the PMN substance and apply the solu tion to various articles . One of the possible processes in which the PMN substance may be used is semiconductor produc tion . A polymer dissolved with the PMN substance may be coated on the surface of semiconductor parts . The PMN substance may be evaporated to leave a polymer layer on the surface . Most of the time, this type of process is performed in closed and automated systems that do not allow release of the solvents into working environment and does not involve manipula tion by workers . The risk of worker exposure and environmental release is therefore low and es timated to be similar for the usage of Process solvent and Polymer solvent .

### • p . 27 3) Nuclear Mapwic Resonance (obligatory) : The quality of the NMR spectrum must permit the interpetation of the spectrum . Complex groups of peaks which are relatively weak in the first run should be suitably expanded and/or increased and a second integration should he appended . Th e solvent used should not obscure important substance related peaks . At least one high resolution NMR spectrum should be p ro vided if the substance is an organic compound . If the molecule has a mobile hyd ro gen atom that undergoes isotopic exchange . an additional spectrum in the presence of DO should be run . For `'C NMR spectra . "C - 'H splitting should be suppressed . cg by decoupling . The spectra should contain all of the peaks att ri butable to the substance . and cover at least the range : 'H 0 - 10 ppm (reference TMS) . "C 0 - 250 ppm (reference TMS) .
