Monona is correct. If the the "neutralization" is not part of the process/reaction doing so after the fact is waste treatment and cannot be done without being licensed to do so. For example, students would do a Hess's Law experiment mixing HCl and sodium bicarbonate. At the end of the lab, I can "neutralize " the collected waste as that occurs secondarily as part of the experiment.
I think this is called waste treatment and not allowed without a license. Monona

Get a recipie that works and share it in glory!

--- For more information about the DCHAS-L e-mail list, contact the Divisional membership chair at membership**At_Symbol_Here**dchas.org Follow us on Twitter **At_Symbol_Here**acsdchasHi All,We are using ammonium sulfide in excess in a reaction in water. What is the proper way to dispose of the aqueous ammonium sulfide? We are concerned that if we add bleach we will make chloramine. Does anyone have a way to convert the ammonium sulfide to ammonium sulfate?Thank you,Nickie NortonResearch ChemistThe Shepherd Chemical Company513-842-9332--- For more information about the DCHAS-L e-mail list, contact the Divisional membership chair at membership**At_Symbol_Here**dchas.org Follow us on Twitter **At_Symbol_Here**acsdchas
