ABSTRACT
Wear breathing apparatus, eye protection, laboratory coat, and butyl rubber gloves. Cover spill with a 1:1:1 mixture by weight of sodium carbonate or calcium carbonate, clay cat litter (bentonite), and sand. Moisten and shovel mixture into pail for dispersion in an excess of dilute hydrochloric acid (1 volume of concentrated acid diluted with 2 volumes of water). Allow to stand, with occasional stirring, for 24 hours, and then run solution to waste, diluting with at least 50 times its volume of water. The solid residue can then be treated as normal refuse. The spill site should be washed with water and soap or detergent.2,4
