    another thing you need to take into consideration is what are you going to do with the chemicals once you are done with them? Im glad to see you have the appropriate PPE. Disposing of hazardous waste can be very expensive. Im not trying to stir you in the wrong decision, just making you aware of other costs. You and everyone else, i only wish them to maximize their profits.

    thanks bud for the advice and your service in the military..chemistry is something of a side study for me...what I do is dilute the waste with water mixed with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)...once neutralized its safe enough to dunk your hand in.

    that sounds right to me. Not only are you getting into home refining, you are also dabbling in hazardous waste neutalization. It does appear you have sense in cheistry. I have a chemistry degree from San Diego State and have worked for multiple hazardous waste companies.
