Section 3 Analyzer Overview

3.1 Operation

The 9210 can analyze up to six different samples. The sample to be analyzed circulates in a fast loop permitting rapid renewal of the sample. Adjustment of the flow is carried out with the help of a needle valve (2). At the beginning of the analysis, the sample is introduced into the measuring cell (4) with the use of a solenoid valve (5).

The reagents R1M and R1A are first added using two of the reagent pumps (9). The silica contained in the sample then reacts with the molybdate and forms the silicomolybdic complex. The reaction will take up to 5 minutes.

Oxalic acid is then added using a reagent pump (9) to avoid phosphate interference and to intensify the color.

The silicomolybdic complex is reduced to a blue molybdenum complex by means of ferrous ions. A photometric measurement is carried out at the end of the reaction.

Analyzer Overview

3.2 CalibrationIn order to ensure accurate measurements, the analyzer should be calibrated periodically. The zero is achieved chemically and internally in the analyzer. The system slope is controlled by comparison to a standard solution of known concentration. Further information regarding calibrations can be found in the section entitled Calibration on page 51.

3.3 Analyzer outputsThe instrument can measure silica concentration from three different sources:

• the process sample during a normal measuring cycle

• the calibration solution during an automatic calibration

• an external sample during the grab sample operation

Whatever the sample source, the measurement cycle structure is identical and all analyzer outputs (e.g. 4/20 mA outputs, screen display, RS485 data, alarm status, etc.) are refreshed during the last minute of the measurement.

3.4 MaintenanceTo ensure a high degree of accuracy is maintained by the analyzer, it is recommended to perform a specific maintenance procedure once a year. All replacement parts and fittings are available by purchasing the maintenance kit 09120=A=8000 which contains enough parts and fittings for two years.

Full details on this procedure and the contents of the maintenance kit can be found in Yearly maintenance on page 60.

Section 4 Installation

WARNINGThe analyzer should only be assembled by qualified staff. Mains power should only be connected once installation has been completed and checked.

4.1 Analyzer inspection and unpackingThe analyzer has been factory tested and checked prior to shipping. We nevertheless recommend that you perform a visual inspection in order to ensure that it has not been damaged. Any marked packaging is a potential sign of damage that may not be immediately visible. Keep all packaging in the event of claims.

Open the box. Take the packing list from the box and check the presence of all the items selected. If any parts or accessories are missing, refer to your distributor or to Hach Lange.

4.2 Analyzer preparationBefore installing the analyzer, think about the following:

• Place the analyzer close to the sample point. This will allow the response time to be reduced.

• The sample should be homogenous and representative.

• The temperature of the sample should be between 5 and 50°C.

• The pressure of the sample should be between 0.2 and 6 bar and remain relatively stable.

• The solution should be free of particles.

• Sample lines should be in PE/PTFE/FEP (4 x 6 mm).

• Avoid any location with a corrosive atmosphere or subject to liquid spills.

• Chose a dry and dust-free location.

• The ambient temperature of the analyzer should not exceed 45°C. If the temperature is below 5°C, the analyzer should be installed in a heated cabinet (not provided by Hach Lange).

Figure 8 Sample connections

22

Installation

4.7 Connecting the drain tubeThe drain outlet is located on the bottom of the analyzer. A 12 x 17 mm pipe is delivered with the analyzer and should be connected to the drain outlet at one end and the other fed to a drain for sample evacuation.

Note: Evacuation should be free of any mechanical constraints, and any counter-pressure.

4.8 Mains power connection

WARNINGNo intervention should be carried out on the analyzer without first switching off the power.

The electrical installation should be carried out by duly qualified personnel. A supply voltage of 100-240 VAC is acceptable without changing the configuration. The power supply terminals can be removed from their housing to make connection easier.

For safety reasons, it is imperative to respect the following:

• Use a three-wire power lead (live + neutral + earth) for supplying the required power.

• The analyzer should be connected to the mains via a circuit-breaker or fuse whose value should be less or equal to 20 A. It should be located in the proximity and be identified. This connection should cut-off the live and neutral when electrical problems occur or when the user wishes to intervene inside the analyzer. However, the earth conductor should always be connected.

Figure 9 Drain connection

23

Installation

The following procedure outlines the steps required to connect power to the analyzer. The main cabinet should be open with access to the interior:

1. Open the transmitter front door by unscrewing the four holding screws.

2. Swing open the door (it is hinged to the left) to reveal the inside of the transmitter.

3. Remove the metallic shielding plate protecting access to the main board.

4. Once the shielding plate is removed, the location of the power cable gland can be seen (indicated with the arrow).

24

Installation

5. Next, run the power supply cable through one of the external cable glands located on the left outside of the cabinet (A), and into the analyzer.

6. Put your hand behind the local controller box and you will locate two cable glands to the left and two to the right on the bottom of the transmitter (B). The cable gland for the power cable is located left and nearest to you.

7. Unscrew the cable gland nut, pass the power cable through it, and then up through the cable gland and into the transmitter.

8. Screw back the cable gland nut to secure the power cable.

9. Remove the power supply connector and note where the earth, live and neutral must be connected.

25

solution• Top up the solution to 2 liters with additional ultra pure water, and transfer the solution to

the canister labelled R3

4.11.5 Calibration solution CONCENTRATED SOLUTION

Use of Titrisol® (Merck) cartridge

Dilute one cartridge of Titrisol® Merck 109947 solution with one liter of demineralized water to give a concentration of 1000 mg/liter of Si, i.e. 2139 mg/liter of SiO2. Dilute this solution 100 times, i.e. 10 mL per liter to give a concentration of 10 mg/liter of Si, i.e. 21.39 mg/liter SiO2.

CALIBRATION SOLUTION

By diluting the concentrated solution (at 21.39 mg/liters) with demineralized water, various calibration solutions with a known concentration of SiO2 may be prepared. The following table gives the nominal values when using demineralized water having a zero concentration of silica:

Given that the demineralized water may often have a non-zero silica content, use of one two methods for determining the nominal silica values of the final calibration solution. On completion, transfer 2 liters of the solution to the calibration canister labelled CAL.

Note: It is recommended to use demineralized water with a silica content of no more than 5 ppb when diluting the concentrated solution.

Method 1:

Determine the silica content of the demineralized water by using a laboratory measurement technique (e.g. Hach Lange laboratory photometer), or by using the grab sample mode of an accurately calibrated POLYMETRON 9210 if available on site. The concentration value can then be added to the values in the above table, giving the following revised table when (for example) using demineralized water with a silica content of 5 ppb (which equates to 2.33 ppb Si):

Installation

Method 2:

Prepare the final calibration solution by diluting the concentrated solution (at 21.39 mg/liters) with demineralized water. Then determine the exact silica concentration value of this solution by using a laboratory measurement technique (e.g. Hach Lange laboratory photometer) or by using the grab sample mode of an accurately calibrated POLYMETRON 9210 if available on site.

4.12 Connecting the canistersEach reagent tubing is labelled individually and delivered already connected to the analyzer. They are fed through, and attached to, caps that attach to the reagent canisters. One end of the tube is fitted with a chemically inert PVC weight that is used to position the tube in the bottom of the canister.

Connect each cap to its canister:

• Tube R1M to reagent canister labelled R1M: Sodium molybdate

• Tube R1A on reagent canister labelled R1A: Nitric acid

• Tube R2 on reagent canister labelled R2: Oxalic acid

• Tube R3 on reagent canister labelled R3: Sulfuric acid and ferrous ammonium sulfate

Screw the cap on each canister so that the weight is resting at the bottom of the canister. Put the canister in the canister holder with the cap towards the exterior as shown in Figure 11 below.

The canister on the far right of the illustration is the calibration solution. This has a thicker tube compared to the reagents. Ensure that the cap has also been securely screwed on to this canister.

At this stage, the analyzer doors can now be closed and locked as access to the interior of the analyzer is no longer required.

Section 8 Calibration


8.1 Menu overviewSelect the CALIBRATION option from the main menu.

Note: If a PROGRAMMING password has been set (see Code on page 38 for details on how to do this), you will be required to enter a password to gain access to the main menu. In addition, if a CALIBRATION password has been set, you will also be required to enter this password to get access to the calibration menu.

For continued accurate measurements, the analyzer should be calibrated on a regular basis.

Calibrations allow the adjustment of:

• ZERO of the system

• SLOPE of the system

• Both ZERO and SLOPE of the system

The ZERO calibration is performed chemically by the analyzer. In order to avoid the use of water free of SiO2, the analyzer carries out a measurement without a colorimetric reaction. The slope of the system is then calibrated with a standard solution of known concentration of SiO2.

Three types of calibration are available:

• Primary

• Manual

• Automatic

In addition, the CALIBRATION menu also gives access to the current calibration parameters and a history of previous calibration results.

52

Calibration

8.1.1 Programming (automatic calibration)

This option is used to define the parameters for an automatic calibration.

The programming screen lets you define the frequency of the zero calibration, the concentration of the calibration solution and to choose between an automatic or manual calibration.

The following table indicates the recommended frequency of the zero calibration in terms of the minimum concentration of the samples.

Sample minimum concentration Recommended frequency

< 5 ppb 24 hours

5 < x < 50 ppb 48 hours

> 50 ppb > 72 hours

For an automatic slope calibration, this screen lets you define the frequency.

• When the BASE option is set to Day, the WEEK option sets the calibration day(s).

Ex 1: SMTWTFS, for a daily calibration.Ex 2: SM*W*FS, for a calibration every day except Tuesday and Thursday.

• The HOUR option is used to set the time to start the calibration.

• When the BASE option is set to Hour, the INTERVAL option sets the frequency of the slope calibration. The recommended slope calibration frequency is 1 week (168 hours).

53

Calibration

8.1.2 Execution primary calibration

8.1.3 Execution manual calibration

A primary calibration is carried out at the factory and is used as a reference for all following calibrations.

In general, this type of calibration does not need to be repeated unless important changes have been made to the analyzer.

Important Note: If you feel that a primary calibration is required, please discuss this with your Hach Lange representative for advice and assistance before performing this type of calibration on your analyzer.

The primary calibration sets the slope and zero references. All results of further manual or automatic calibrations will be compared to the zero and slope references set by this calibration. Large differences will signify an error in the calibration and will be highlighted with an error message.

The calibration of the slope is defined first, followed by the zero.

Press Esc to abort the calibration and return to the CALIBRATION menu.

The calibration is made in the following stages:

• Sample preparation

• Conditioning

• Measurement

• Rinse

A bar graph indicates the calibration progress.

At the end of the calibration, the results are displayed on screen.

Primary calibration results:

S = value of the slope (ppb / Abs)

O = value of the zero shift in milli-Abs

The default values show a general idea of the standard values according to the analyzer range (0-1000 or 0-5000 ppb).

Choose the type of calibration required:

• ZERO

• SLOPE

• ZERO + SLOPE

At the end of the calibration, the results will be displayed (see example in Historic on page 54).

8.1.4 Parameters

8.1.5 Historic

This screen displays the primary calibration parameters and the last calibration parameters.

The default values show a general idea of the standard values according to the analyzer range (0-1000 or 0-5000 ppb).

This screen displays the calibration history with the following information:

• Date and time.

• Type: manual or automatic.

• Slope (S) and offset (O) values.

55

Calibration

8.1.6 Calibration resultsAt the end of a manual or automatic calibration, the analyzer compares the results with the primary reference calibration parameters. Depending on the results, you can accept, restart or cancel the calibration. There are 3 zones:

Zone ok

Normal variations compared to the reference values. The new parameters are acceptable.

In automatic mode, the analyzer returns to its measurement cycle. In manual mode, validate with OK and restart the analyzer (Start function key).

S: XXXXX DD:MM:YY - Slope

O: XXXXX DD:MM:YY - Offset

C: XXXXX DD:MM:YY - Concentration of the sample solution just measured, calculated using the calibration values from the Last calibration.

Confirmation zone

Abnormal variations compared to the reference values. The new parameters can be accepted but a warning is displayed and confirmation is required.

In automatic mode, the analyzer does not take the new parameters, but returns to measurement mode with the previous parameters. In manual mode, you must confirm (Conf) or cancel (Cancel) to accept or reject the new parameters.

Note: In automatic mode, where the calibration lies within the confirmation zone, the analyzer takes one measurement and then recalibrates. After 3 successive invalid calibrations, the analyzer waits for the next programmed date before attempting another calibration.

Rejection zone

Parameters are abnormal. There is a basic problem such as an invalid calibration solution preparation being used.

In automatic mode, the analyzer stops and triggers a system alarm. In manual mode, you can Cancel (return to measurement mode with the previous parameters) or Restart the calibration.

9.5 Yearly maintenanceOnce a year, maintenance should be carried out on the analyzer to ensure the high degree of accuracy of the analyzer is maintained. This maintenance requires the following maintenance kit which is available from your local Hach Lange representative:

The following step-by-step process should be followed:

Part No. Description

09210=A=8000 2 years spare part kit 921X (all ranges). Includes items and quantities below 8 x 589=010=015 Fitting for 1.5mm I.D tubing - 10/32 UNF thread8 x 590=050=060 Polyethylene tubing 1.6 x 3.2mm (per meter) 8 x 625=065=025 Printed stickers for tubing identification 1 x 09210=A=8050 Kit of (8) ferrules, (8) nuts8 x 09210=A=4362 Injectors 2 x 226=003=013 Teflon coated magnetic stirrer (for 921X analyzers)0.5 x 151400,22387 PE tubing 6 x 8mm (per meter)1.0 x 151575,00006 PE tubing 4 x 6mm (per meter)

1. Ensure that adequate warning has been given to all personnel that are involved in any way with the analyzer, that maintenance will be carried out on a pre-defined date/time.

2. Shut down the analyzer as follows:

a. Stop the analyzer measuring process by pressing the Stop function key

b. Press the Menu function key and select the MAINTENANCE optionc. Select the EXTENDED STOP optiond. Fill a beaker with 250 mL of demineralized watere. Open the analyzer to gain access to the reagent and calibration solution canistersf. Unscrew the caps on the 4 reagent canisters, remove the tube guides from the

canisters and place them in the beaker of demineralized waterg. Unscrew the cap on the calibration solution canister, remove the tube guide from

the canister and place it in a second (empty) beaker. Do not put it in the beaker of demineralized water containing the reagent tube guides

h. Press OK to start the rinsing processi. On completion press Esc to exit the process. The measuring cell and reagent

tubes will now be rinsed and emptyj. Disconnect the analyzer from the power source

3. With the analyzer still open, remove the 4 screws holding the pump box cover in place (item no. 8 in Figure 3 on page 16) and set to one side.

Note: The pump connections are described on the pump box cover. Each pump has an inlet tubing (from the canister to the pump) and an outlet tubing (from the pump to the measuring cell). The outlet tubing is also referred to as the injector.

4. Prepare 4 of the injectors (part no. 09210=A=4362 from the maintenance kit). The process is slightly different depending on the analyzer model in use (sulfuric acid or nitric acid chemistry).

9120 analyzer with sulfuric acid chemistry:

a. The injector is supplied with the ferrule and fitting nut attached. These are not required, so cut the tubing immediately after the ferule (90° angle) and discard the ferrule and nut. Do this on all 4 injectors

9120 analyzer with nitric acid chemistry:

a. No action is required and the tubing injectors should be used as supplied in the maintenance kit

61

Maintenance

5. Prepare the inlet tubing (part no. 590=050=060 from the maintenance kit). Again, the process is slightly different depending on the analyzer model in use (sulfuric acid or nitric acid chemistry).

9120 analyzer with sulfuric acid chemistry:

a. Cut 4 lengths of tubing of 90 cm each and proceed to the step 6

9120 analyzer with nitric acid chemistry:

a. Using a scalpel, cut one end of the tubing to form a point approximately 30mm long, to enable the tube to be passed through the ferrule:

WARNINGAlways take care when using scalpels. Always make tube cuts away from the body and keep fingers away from the blade.

b. Slide the fitting nut onto the tube. Slide the ferrule over the pointed end and onto the tube as far as possible without forcing it, and ensuring the PTFE seal is facing towards the pointed end of the tube:

c. With the aid of long-nosed pliers or similar, pull the pointed tube end through the ferrule until the PTFE sealing surface has reached the uncut section of the tube. Keeping the ferrule as perpendicular as possible to the tube will ensure the best results. Rotate the ferrule around the tube 3 or 4 times to seat the ferrule on the tube correctly:

d. Using a scalpel, cut the pointed tube end as close to the ferrule as possible, ensuring the end of the ferrule is not cut:

62

Maintenance

e. The tube assembly is now ready for use:

6. Renew all the reagent tubing.

Important Note: To avoid any contamination, ensure that each tube guide is always used for the same reagent as it was previously used for. Under no circumstances should they be interchanged.

Apply the following procedure for one reagent, then repeat for each reagent in turn. For easier access, start with the reagent pump on the far left (closest to the calibration pump).

a. Locate the inlet port (nearest to you) and outlet port (farthest from you) of the pump. Be aware that there is an additional port on each pump between the inlet and outlet ports but which is not to be used. Disconnect the inlet tubing and the injector tubing from the pump. Pull the injector tubing out of its position in the photometric cell (item no. 5 in Figure 2 on page 15) and discard it

b. Mount the newly prepared injector on the outlet port of the pump and screw in place. Slide the other end of the tubing through the panel cut-out at the front but do not yet connect to the photometric cell

c. Mount the newly prepared inlet tubing on the inlet port of the pump and screw in place

d. Retrieve the old inlet tubing and the tube guide from the beaker of watere. Unscrew the plastic fitting from the weight (position 1 in the illustration below) and

put the weight to one side on a clean tissue

f. Once the weight is removed, pull all the old reagent tubing out of the tube guide and discard

g. Slide the newly prepared reagent tubing through tube guide h. Place a new fitting (part no. 589=010=015 from the maintenance kit) on the end of

the tubing and screw into the weighti. Take the same sticker as the original one (part no. 625=065=025 from the

maintenance kit) and place it around the reagent tube approximately 10cm from the tube guide

j. Place the tube guide assembly back in its canister and screw down securelyk. Repeat these steps for the next reagent pump until all four have been completed

7. Change the magnetic stirrer in the photometer cell by first removing the 4 screws from the photometric cell cover. Put the screws to one side. Lift off the cap and then remove the old magnetic stirrer in the bottom of the cell.

Take a new stirrer (226=003=013 from the maintenance kit) and place in position at the bottom of the cell.

Replace the photometric cell cover and secure with the 4 screws.8. Place the ends of the injectors into the top of the photometric cell as far as they will go

without forcing them.

INHALATION Corrosive! Inhalation of vapors can cause breathing difficulties and lead to pneumonia and pulmonary edema, which may be fatal. Other symptoms may include coughing, choking, and irritation of the nose, throat, and respiratory tract.

INGESTION Corrosive! Swallowing nitric acid can cause immediate pain and burns of the mouth, throat, esophagus and gastrointestinal tract.

SKIN CONTACT Corrosive! Can cause redness, pain, and severe skin burns. Concentrated solutions cause deep ulcers and stain skin a yellow or yellow-brown color.

EYE CONTACT Corrosive! Vapors are irritating and may cause damage to the eyes. Contact may cause severe burns and permanent eye damage.

CHRONIC EXPOSURE Long-term exposure to concentrated vapors may cause erosion of teeth and lung damage. Long-term exposures seldom occur due to the corrosive properties of the acid.

AGGRAVATION OF PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS

Persons with pre-existing skin disorders, eye disease, or cardiopulmonary diseases may be more susceptible to the effects of this substance.

FIRST AID

INHALATION Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.

INGESTION DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! Give large quantities of water or milk if available. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention immediately.

SKIN CONTACT In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.

EYE CONTACT Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

FIRE Not combustible, but substance is a strong oxidizer and its heat of reaction with reducing agents or combustibles may cause ignition. Can react with metals to release flammable hydrogen gas.

EXPLOSION Reacts explosively with combustible organic or readily oxidizable materials such as: alcohols, turpentine, charcoal, organic refuse, metal powder, hydrogen sulfide, etc. Reacts with most metals to release hydrogen gas which can form explosive mixtures with air.

FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Water spray may be used to keep fire exposed containers cool. Do not get water inside container.

SPECIAL INFORMATION Increases the flammability of combustible, organic and readily oxidizable materials. In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.

MEASURES IN CASE OF SPILLAGE

Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Neutralize with alkaline material (soda ash, lime), then absorb with an inert material (e.g. vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste container. Do not use combustible materials, such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer! US Regulations (CERCLA) require reporting spills and releases to soil, water and air in excess of reportable quantities.

HANDLING AND STORAGE

Store in a cool, dry, ventilated storage area with acid resistant floors and good drainage. Protect from physical damage. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from heat, water, and incompatible materials. Do not wash out container and use it for other purposes. When diluting, the acid should always be added slowly to water and in small amounts. Never use hot water and never add water to the acid. Water added to acid can cause uncontrolled boiling and splashing. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS / INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION

AIRBORNE EXPOSURE LIMITS OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): 2 ppm (TWA), 4 ppm (STEL)

ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV): 2 ppm (TWA); 4 ppm (STEL)

VENTILATION SYSTEM A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.

PERSONAL RESPIRATORS (NIOSH APPROVED) If the exposure limit is exceeded, wear a supplied air, full face piece respirator, air-lined hood, or full face piece self-contained breathing apparatus. Nitric acid is an oxidizer and should not come in contact with cartridges and canisters that contain oxidizable materials, such as activated charcoal. Canister-type respirators using sorbents are ineffective.

SKIN PROTECTION Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.

EYE PROTECTION Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.

WaterNitric acid

90%10% Yes


Causes severe irritation and burns. Harmful if swallowed. Avoid breathing vapor or dust. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothes. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container closed.

FIRST AID

CHRONIC EXPOSURE Long-term exposure to concentrated vapors may cause erosion of teeth and lung damage. Long-term exposures seldom occur due to the corrosive properties of the acid.

AGGRAVATION OF PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS Persons with pre-existing skin disorders, eye disease, or cardiopulmonary diseases may be more susceptible to the effects of this substance.


FIRE Not combustible, but substance is a strong oxidizer and its heat of reaction with reducing agents or combustibles may cause ignition. Can react with metals to release flammable hydrogen gas.

EXPLOSION Reacts explosively with combustible organic or readily oxidizable materials such as: alcohols, turpentine, charcoal, organic refuse, metal powder, hydrogen sulfide, etc. Reacts with most metals to release hydrogen gas which can form explosive mixtures with air.

FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Water spray may be used to keep fire exposed containers cool. Do not get water inside container.

SPECIAL INFORMATION Increases the flammability of combustible, organic and readily oxidizable materials. In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.


Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Neutralize with alkaline material (soda ash, lime), then absorb with an inert material (e.g. vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste container. Do not use combustible materials, such as sawdust.


Store in a cool, dry, ventilated storage area with acid resistant floors and good drainage. Protect from physical damage. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from heat, water, and incompatible materials. Do not wash out container and use it for other purposes. When diluting, the acid should always be added slowly to water and in small amounts. Never use hot water and never add water to the acid. Water added to acid can cause uncontrolled boiling and splashing. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
