Info

Personal Protection • Be sure that you are using protective equipment that has been shown to effectively protect against hydrofluoric acid exposure • Always handle in a properly functioning fume hood and insure that the area is equipped with a safety shower and eyewash • Wear goggles, face shield, neoprene gloves, and acid resistant apron • Familiarize yourself with the MSDS before handling. First Aid • Move victim to a safe location, and seek medical attention • Use protective equipment when handling a contaminated victim • Skin: Immediately flush the exposed skin for 5 minutes with water and apply calcium gluconate gel. Use two pairs of nitrile gloves while applying gel. Reapply calcium gluconate gel every 10 minutes until emergency help arrives. • Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with water for 15 minutes. Dial 911 • Inhalation: Dial 911 • All hydrofluoric acid burns are to be evaluated by a physician * Obtain calcium gluconate gel from Physical Sciences Storehouse. 40
III. BASES Characteristics • Typically soluble in water and release heat • Specific properties of individual bases must be ascertained prior to commencing clean-up procedures Storage Precautions Potential Hazards Detection of Release Immediate Action Personal Protection • Segregate bases from acids • Store solutions of inorganic hydroxides in polyethylene containers • Have spill control pillows or caustic neutralizers available for caustic spills • Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated location Fire • Typically soluble in water Explosion • Container may explode due to heat or fire Health • Damage to eyes, skin from corrosive action • Fine dust can cause damage to eyes, upper respiratory tract and lungs • Skin irritant • Turns Litmus paper blue, pH range 8 to 14 • Slippery feeling in solution • Eye, nose, throat, skin irritation • Air monitoring NOTIFY EH&S OF ANY RELEASE: • Beyond immediate work area • Causing personal injury • Stop leak if without risk to personnel • Do not touch spilled liquid • Neutralize with dilute acid, e.g. citric acid, by trained response personnel • Capture spilled material for later disposal • Avoid breathing vapors • Avoid bodily contact • Keep upwind • Wear appropriate chemical protective gloves, boots, and goggles • Full protective clothing may be necessary if significant contact with material is anticipated First Aid • Move victim to fresh air • Remove and isolate contaminated clothing • In case of contact, flush skin or eyes with water Common Bases: Ammonium Hydroxide Carbonates, Salts of 2 Bicarbonates, Salts of 1 Calcium Hydroxide Potassium Hydroxide Sodium Hydroxide 1 Potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, etc. 2 Calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate. 41
