Spillage Disposal
Wear nitrile rubber gloves, laboratory coat, and eye protection. Cover the spill with a 1:1:1 mixture by weight of sodium carbonate or calcium carbonate, clay cat litter (bentonite), and sand. Scoop the mixture into a plastic pail and, in the fume hood, very slowly add the mixture to a pail of cold water. Allow to stand for 24 hours. Test pH of the solution and neutralize if necessary with sodium carbonate. Decant the solution to the drain with at least 50 times its volume of water. Treat the solid residue as normal refuse.57 The area of the spill should be washed thoroughly with soap and water.2
