Disposing of chemicals
Hi Carole,
 
The standard reference for chemical reactivity is: Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards ( available online at http://www.bretheric.com/ but you do have to register for the service). Also a very quick google search turned up: http://www.chemsafety.gov/ which may be of use ( have a look at chemlinks)
 
Regards,
 
Nick

Hi,

We are trying to collect all our dyes and special stain chemicals and hopefully combine some of the chemicals to be hauled away.  I know the people hauling the chemicals have the last word on what is mixed but...My question is,  does anyone have a list of chemicals you CAN mix?  I do not want us to blow up the lab from mixing the wrong chemicals but we do not have a large enough volume to separate everything.  You cannot mix ammonical silver with other silvers although I have seen it done.  It is potentially explosive.  I checked with NSH and they do not have the info.  Does anyone know if this type of list exists? 

Thank you,
Carole Fields
