Studies were performed to determine the comparative effectiveness of solvent and aqueous detergent methods for cleaning various metals. The metals investigated included 304L stainless steel, beryllium, uranium-6.5 wt percent niobium alloy, and unalloyed uranium (238U). The studies were initiated in response to governmental regulations restricting the use of some chlorinated solvents. Results showed that aqueous detergent cleaning was more effective than solvents, i.e. trichloroethylene and methyl chloroform, for the removal of light industrial soils. The subsequent adoption of aqueous cleaning at this plant has facilitated waste disposal, which contributed to recorded economic savings. The controlled use of aqueous detergents is environmentally acceptable and has decreased the hazards of fire and toxicity that are generally associated with solvents. 8 tables, 15 figures.

Presently, industry places heavy reliance on the use of chlorinated solvents to achieve acceptable levels of cleanliness for systems in oxygen service. The Montreal Protocol and other restrictions will prohibit the use of these types of solvents because of potential damage to the environment. This paper discusses some of the issues involved in assessing aqueous based cleaning agents. A gravimetric test procedure has been developed to have a standard method of comparing the ability of a cleaning agent to remove oil and grease contaminants from prepared metal coupons. Data is presented to demonstrate the results of the test procedure. The testing addresses the use of a soak method and ultrasonics. The effects of time and temperature are directly addressed. Other variables are discussed in general terms such as disposal and cost considerations.
