Dispose Equation Notification For Free

Following compounds may be disposed by flushing them down the drain if there are only small quantities: Salts of light metals like calcium chloride or sodium sulfate. Mineral acids (Hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid)

Never put acid in the garbage or pour it down the drain.

Dispose of the solution down the drain. The neutralized solution can be safely poured down the drain while running cold water. Continue to run water down the drain after the container is empty for at least 30 seconds. Highly toxic acids are hazardous waste.

Carefully pour one-quarter to one-half-cup of the hydrochloric acid into 2 to 5 gallons of water. It's very important to always add the chemical to the water and not the water to the chemical. Pour the diluted solution down the sink, flushing with large amounts of water. Work slowly to avoid splashes.

Although calcium carbonate is not specifically listed as a hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 42 USC 6901 et seq., EPA requires employers to treat waste as hazardous if it exhibits any of the characteristics discussed above.

Burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber but exert extra care in igniting as this material is highly flammable. Offer surplus and non-recyclable solutions to a licensed disposal company. Contact a licensed professional waste disposal service to dispose of this material.

Calcium deposits in pipes are common in homes that have ?hard water,? or water with a high mineral content from magnesium, calcium, or potassium. This hard water can (and typically does) build up in drains and pipes and, when left unresolved, can cause corrosion or blockages.
