Ultimately damaged AP products (microcomponents or macro sized parts) beyond the poit where they can be recycled often do hardly decay by themselves. If badly designed they may even release DME - splinters in the environment so they need to be burnt or disintegrated to reusable or harmless substances in an other way. Conventional furnaces will probably suffice but AP manufactured combustion cells for microcomponents or makro objects are desirable nontheless. They may be able to better filter combustion fumes and also better solve other issues. - Reseach needed.
For now a list of potential diamondoid refractory materials can be found at the "consistent design for external limiting factors" page.
Slacks
The oxides of the elements C,H,O,N,S are all gasses thus if the product to dispose of contains only those elements it can be completely burned to gasses. If other elements are included burning will produce an amprphous glassy slack which may be very hard to recycle.
Heating parts up in a hot and dense hydrogen atmosphere might be usable to extend the list of elements that can be reverted to easy to process resource gasses. e.g. Silicon -> Silane.
Microcomponents
- Microcomponents are a lot easier to burn since their large surface area in relation to their volume.
- Also its easier too keep them free of elements that produce oxidic slacks. If documented they can be seperated regarding their composition and disposed of seperately such that elements do not mix too much.
