Subject: RE: [DCHAS-L] Disposal of butyl lithium
Beware. Waste is hazardous when generated (provided it meets the
definition of solid waste, which this will). Keeping the butyl lithium
as commercial chemical product to be used is okay (speculative
accumulation is allowed in this case), but the moment the decision is
made to dispose of it, this butyl lithium becomes a hazardous waste
(and all rules apply).
Also understand that you=92ve described that the lab =93does not want to
use and is trying to dispose=85=94 It sounds like the decision has
already
been made. Get your EHS department involved.
