Product arising from burning: Combustion products may contain carbon, nitrogen and sulfur

oxides, as well as sodium and chromium compounds.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Wear protective clothing (dust mask, safety goggles and

impermeable gloves).

Solids: Sweep up (wet powders with water) and place in

suitable containers for disposal.

Liquids: Absorb using an adequate absorbent (eg. kieselgur,

sand, saw dust, kieselgel), collect and place in suitable

containers for disposal.

Dispose of waste material in authorised incineration

facility.

Handling and storage

Handling: Observe the usual precautions for handling chemicals. If the

substance is handled as powder, avoid inhalation of dust and

wear dust mask. Use equipment for handling powders or other

appropriate engineering controls. Avoid skin contact and

wear impermeable gloves. Take precautionary measures against

static discharges.

Storage: The substance should be stored in well sealed and secure

containers in adequate rooms at room temperature.

Avoid residues outside the containers.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery of substance after use is not reasonably

practicable (95% consumed, substance highly water soluble).

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable, substance has no hazardous properties.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Disposal at a landfill site is possible.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Incineration is possible, waste gas treatment should be used

to remove NOx, SOx (and chromium compounds?).

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Less than 5% of the substance remains after use. Waste water

is pre-treated before discharge to public systems.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance will only enter the public domain as part of

an article.
