Disposal 12
Inorganic acids and anhydrides thereof should first be diluted or hydrolyzed by stirring carefully into
ice water and then neutralized (protective gloves, fume cupboard!) with sodium hydroxide solution
(Cat. No. 105587). Before filling into container D, check the pH with pH universal indicator strips
(Cat. No. 109535). Fuming sulfuric acid should be carefully stirred dropwise into 40 % sulfuric acid
(Cat. No. 109286). Ensure that plenty of ice is available for cooling! When sufficiently cool, treat the
highly concentrated sulfuric acid as described above. Analogous to this procedure, other
anhydrides can be converted into their corresponding acids. Acid gases (e.g. hydrogen halide,
chlorine, phosgene, sulfur dioxide) can be introduced into dilute sodium hydroxide solution and after
neutralization disposed of in container D.

Safety information

In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.Wear
suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection.In case of accident or if you feel unwell,
seek medical advice immediately (show the label where possible).
