Description
Destruction of Hazardous Chemicals in the Laboratory is a single-volume reference providing procedural information for the destruction of a wide variety of hazardous chemicals.
This practical reference describes procedures for the destruction of a comprehensive list of hazardous chemicals and offers general methods for their destruction in the laboratory without the need for exotic reagents and equipment.
Unlike most other sources on this subject, detailed reaction parameters are provided, helping readers decide if a procedure is appropriate. Numerous tables throughout the book allow for ready comparison of procedures, enhancing comprehension.
Destruction of Hazardous Chemicals in the Laboratory also covers critical aspects of various protocols, such as UV lamp type and rate of ozone flow.
The updated fourth edition includes a survey of the literature from 2012-2021, featuring data mined from 1,500 papers. It describes recent methods generally applicable to organic compounds and greatly expands the section on methods for the destruction of pharmaceuticals in the laboratory.
In this book, readers can expect to find detailed information on:
- Specific methods for the destruction of hazardous chemicals such as aflatoxins, butyllithium, complex metal hydrides, ethidium bromide, MPTP, nitrosamines, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
- Methods for the destruction of pharmaceuticals in the laboratory, utilising ozone, persulfate, and potassium permanganate, as well as photolytic degradation procedures.
- Procedures for drying organic solvents.
- A discussion of issues concerning nitrosamine formation during the destruction process, particularly when sodium hypochlorite is used.
- A variety of indexes, including a general index, cross index of pharmaceuticals and destruction procedures, cross index of dyes and destruction procedures, and a cross index of names for dyes and biological stains.
Destruction of Hazardous Chemicals in the Laboratory is of immense value to researchers, enabling them to quickly and efficiently eliminate residual amounts of hazardous chemicals when a series of experiments has ended. The procedures in the text can also be incorporated into laboratory protocols.
