Subject: Questions About Perchloric Acid
I have one good question and two dumb ones. They are:
What is a good chemistry and design for a scrubber to be used to
control emissions of perchloric acid from small scale heating
operations done in common hoods?
Is there a quantity of perchloric acid that is so small that it can
be handled without benefit of a special hood, even if heated (Is
there a de minimis quantity)?
What is the derivation of the NFPA 45 requirement that HClO4 not be
heated by flame or in an oil bath? I can guess, but I don't know.
Please advise. "Inquiring minds want to know."
