Acid Trap?
Posted: 13 Jun 2016, 11:22
Outside the school science laboratories is what I have discovered is an "acid trap" It is a pit in the ground covered by metal plates which can be lifted up. Apparently it is used to tip chemicals into to evaporate for disposal. I have been at the school for 14 years and have never used it let alone known what it was for. After investigation it appears to be full of very dank murky liquid, probably water as it is not exactly water tight and I am sure rain would get into it, I certainly have not tipped any chemicals into there!
Does anyone have one at their school, and if so do you use it and how is it used? Are school laboratories meant to have one or is this just left over from some other dark age of education. Are there regulations regarding use?
I hope someone can enlighten me!
