Labbie friends ... I am one year into my role and wondering if someone has a cheat sheet of neutralising, sinking, wasting ie inorganic, organic etc ... I know the basics and learnt my copper solutions go with steelwool and silver nitrate with salt solution ... But before I embark on making a document to keep details on ... Has anyone before me done something like this ... Your sharing would be greatly appreciated ... Kindest ...

I have a list but unless you follow the CSIS it will not make sense to you. It is a list of the Numbers 2 etc and what to do.

Do hope this helps you.

It's a great reference document, thanks Labbie!

I am not sure how to get rid of iodine (solid) in kerosene (solution). The solution is a light brown colour and has a few small solid pieces of iodine settled at the bottom. Using the spread sheet:
23 - Kerosene Solution - Evaporate and Garbage.
16 - Iodine Solid - Neutralise and down sink
16 - Iodine Solution - Dilute down sink

What do I do when it is not one straightforward method??

Well Evaporate what you can first,

Then after a few days what you are left with put into garbage, by wrapping in newspaper, If its a solution dilute down sink.

Thanks, Labbie!
