Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a method of detoxifying asbestos by using a room-temperature recrystallization scheme. The method includes heat-treating a rock or slate containing asbestos; and putting the heat-treated rock or slate in an aqueous solution, to which organic acid is added, to allow the heat-treated rock or slate to react with the aqueous solution having the organic acid.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of detoxifying asbestos by using a room-temperature recrystallization scheme, the method consists of: heat-treating a rock or slate containing asbestos; and putting the heat-treated rock or slate in an aqueous solution, to which organic acid is added, to allow the heat-treated rock or slate to react with the aqueous solution having the organic acid. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rock containing asbestos includes serpentine. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the heat treatment is performed at a temperature in a range of 500° C. to 600° C. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the heat treatment is performed for 5 hours to 15 hours. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the organic acid is oxalic acid. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reaction is performed at a room temperature and a normal pressure. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reaction is performed for 6 hours to 12 hours. 8. A method of detoxifying asbestos by using a room-temperature recrystallization scheme, the method comprising: heat-treating a rock or slate containing asbestos; and putting the heat-treated rock or slate in aqueous solution, to which organic acid is added, to allow the heat-treated rock or slate to react with the aqueous solution having the organic acid, wherein the organic acid is added to the aqueous solution at a weight ratio of 0.0125 to 0.06 with respect to the rock or the slate containing asbestos. 9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the rock containing asbestos includes serpentine. 10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the heat treatment is performed at a temperature in a range of 500° C. to 600° C. 11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the heat treatment is performed for 5 hours to 15 hours. 12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the organic acid is oxalic acid. 13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the reaction is performed at a room temperature and a normal pressure. 14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the reaction is performed for 6 hours to 12 hours.
