SECTION 13. - - - - - - - - - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS - - - - - - - - -
CAUTIOUSLY ACIDIFY A 3% SOLUTION OR A SUSPENSION OF THE MATERIAL TO
PH 2 WITH SULFURIC ACID. GRADUALLY ADD A 50% EXCESS OF AQUEOUS SODIUM
BISULFITE WITH STIRRING AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. AN INCREASE IN TEMPERA-
TURE INDICATES THAT A REACTION IS TAKING PLACE. IF NO REACTION IS
OBSERVED ON THE ADDITION OF ABOUT 10% OF THE SODIUM BISULFITE SOLUTION
INITIATE IT BY CAUTIOUSLY ADDING MORE ACID. IF MANGANESE, CHROMIUM,
OR MOLYBDENUM ARE PRESENT ADJUST THE PH OF THE SOLUTION TO 7 AND TREAT
WITH SULFIDE TO PRECIPITATE FOR BURIAL AS HAZARDOUS WASTE. DESTROY
EXCESS SULFIDE, NEUTRALIZE AND FLUSH THE SOLUTION DOWN THE DRAIN.
OBSERVE ALL FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS.
