13 - Disposal Considerations
SUBSTANCE DISPOSAL
Under an inert atmosphere, cautiously add the material to dry
butanol in an appropriate solvent. The chemical reaction may be
vigorous and/or exothermic. Provisions must be made for the
venting of large volumes of highly flammable hydrogen and/or
hydrocarbon gases. Neutralize the solution with aqueous acid.
Filter off any solid residues for disposal as hazardous waste.
Burn the liquid portion in a chemical incinerator equipped with an
afterburner and scrubber. Observe all federal, state, and local
environmental regulations.
