Hi there
Needing everyones help again!!!!
Year 11 Chem. students have just finished a prac. using 33% v/v ethylene glycol commercial cooling system treatment, and I'm not sure how to dispose of it.
Thanks
Mother

Dilute down the sink is fine with PLENTY of water. It only needs to be disposed of in a chemical pick up if it's been run through an engine due to the heavy metals it picks up.

hi
I do agree with Slartibartfast it is down the drain or covered with sawdust or sand and disposed in the rubbish bin

You should have MSDS for the brand you using I am sending you one that I have

Many thanks Jazz
Take care
Mother
