Group,

When I was in industry, we had an employee add this type of waste to a drum of organic waste. The nitric acid reacted and splashed all over the face of the employee. Please make sure it is ventilated and use a face shield.

Hello,

I had a question from one of the organic chemists here about how to store the waste from a nitration using nitric acid in a dichloromentane/acetic acid solvent. He says there are several examples of this nitration in the literature, but I am still wary. While the reaction is open to the atmosphere, I am worried about storing it until it can be disposed of. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
