) 4-Bromodimethylaniline
HAZARDOUS WASTE, Date 03-15-02
) Two bottles of Water (acidic) with:
� Bis(salicylaldehydato)nickel (II) dehydrate
� Bis(salicylaldiminato)nickel (II)
� Bis(N-2’-butylsalicylaldiminato)nickel (II)
HAZARDOUS WASTE, Date 11-19-06
) Two bottles of Acetone, Hexane, and Ethyl ether with:
� Acetophenone
� Anisole
� Benzaldehyde
� Benzyl alcohol
� Benzoic acid
� Naphthalene
Aqueous solutions should be checked with (blue) litmus paper and labeled acidic (see above
example) if necessary, although the presence of a compound named as an acid (e.g., Acetic acid) will
ordinarily be sufficient to indicate that the material inside is acidic.
Each research laboratory should maintain its own supply of spent reagent bottles to be used as
waste containers. Please take extras to the small marked cart or under the metal table of room #20 for
community use. You may take containers from this area when you need them. If necessary, get clean
bottles from the stockroom, #110, or the general chemistry preparation room, #103. Gallon sized glass jars
are located in room #103, and empty 5 gallon blue Fisher metal cans are located in the solvent room, #20.
White five gallon polyethylene jugs are also in room #103.
The waste chemicals will eventually be "lab-packed" or enclosed in safe transportation packages
and taken out by waste treatment firms.
