Lesson Plan
Instructor's Notes
o
Some States are more restrictive than the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) in their listing of those scintillation
cocktails that are biodegradable.
o
Organic solvents with a flash point below
60oC (140oF) may be classified as
"ignitable," thus creating a mixed waste
where disposal may not be possible. If the
flash point is above 140oF, the organic
solvent may not be considered as
ignitable; however, these materials must
be handled and disposed of with extreme
caution.
3.
Other methods for facilitating disposal:
o
Do not combine solvents with metals;
disposal is very difficult. Examples are
lead or mercury combined with solvents.
o
Generally, it is a good idea to separate
organics and inorganics whenever possible
to facilitate disposal.
