Our university’s current chemical storage guidance recommends segregating organic bases from inorganic bases. This has been called into question by one of our research faculty, so I am hoping to get some opinions on the practice from this group. I have noted
that certain institutions include similar guidance in their chemical storage guidelines while others do not. Does anyone know of particular organic bases that are reactive with inorganic bases? We see very few organic bases on our campus, so this topic does
not come up very often for us.
Any examples or feedback you can share with me are appreciated!
