2 Beta Mercaptoethanol Disposal

Dimercaptoethanol treatment method
Dimercaptoethanol is strong and toxic, and it should be handled with caution. The way to dispose of it is related to the safety of everyone and the environment, and cannot be ignored.

The first thing to know is its properties. Dimercaptoethanol is stinky and volatile, with a low ignition point. It is easy to explode in case of open flames and hot topics, and it is seriously harmful to human skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Therefore, before disposal, you must know its properties in detail before you can have a foolproof solution.

The method of disposal precedes the benefits of ventilation. Operators must wear protective equipment, such as gas masks, protective gloves, protective clothing, etc., to prevent damage to the body. When collecting, use special equipment and be careful not to spill it. If it is accidentally spilled, quickly cover it with inert materials such as sand and vermiculite, and put it in a closed container for later.

There are two methods of disposal. One is chemical neutralization. Use an appropriate amount of acid or alkali to respond to it to make it harmless. Then it is necessary to accurately measure the dose and control the reaction conditions, otherwise it is easy to change. The second is combustion disposal. However, because of its flammability and explosion, it is necessary to adjust the temperature and oxygen in a specific incinerator to make it completely burned out, and properly dispose of the combustion products to prevent them from polluting the environment.

After finishing, the utensils and sites used should be carefully cleaned. Repeatedly wash it with water and detergent, and then measure its pH with a test strip until it is neutral. And when dimercaptoethanol is placed, when there is a special person to supervise it, prepare first aid medicine and equipment to prevent accidents.

In short, the disposal of dimercaptoethanol is related to safety and environmental protection, and the operator must strictly abide by the regulations, be careful and not slack in the slightest.
