How To Dispose of Alnochromix Cleaner
Q: How do you dispose of Alnochromix cleaner and sulfuric acid mixtures? What kind of container can hold the mixture, and what are the outgasses?
A: Excellent question about what disposal and containers are recommend, and what outgasses are there from an Alnochromix®/sulfuric acid solution. The mixture of Alnochromix and concentrated sulfuric acid forms peroxydisulfuric acid, bisulfate salts, and persulfate salts along, which will be present with sulfuric acid. The mixture will outgas sulfur dioxide and oxygen when oxidizing organic residues. This is why you want to store in a vented container. Vent caps are available at Alconox.com in the shop.
