Subject: Picric Acid
Hi fellow histonetters,
Does anyone know a way of neutralizing picric
acid crystals? I know adding water will make it no longer a explosion
hazard...but our lab safety officer seems to think
that there is a way of actually neutralizing
it.Also, in reference to this matter, does anyone know if there is a "special
absorption" technique that needs to used when
dicarding these crysals?
Any input would be greatly
appreciated.
Valerie
