Methods and materials for Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. Should not be released into containment and cleaning up the environment. This product is miscible in water. Stop leak if possible without any risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Clean up spills immediately by sweeping or shoveling up the material. Do not return spilled material to the original container; transfer to a clean metal or plastic drum. To clean up potassium permanganate solutions, follow either of the following two options: Option # 1: Dilute to approximately 6% with water, and then reduce with sodium thiosulfate, a bisulfite or ferrous salt solution. The bisulfite or ferrous salt may require some dilute sulfuric acid (10% w/w) to promote reduction. Neutralize with sodium carbonate to neutral pH, if acid was used. Decant or filter and deposit sludge in approved landfill. Where permitted, the sludge may be drained into sewer with large quantities of water. Option # 2: Absorb with inert media like diatomaceous earth or inert floor dry, collect into a drum and dispose of properly. Do not use saw dust or other incompatible media. Disposal of all materials shall be in full and strict compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations pertaining to permanganates. To clean contaminated floors, flush with abundant quantities of water into sewer, if permitted by federal, state, and local regulations. If not, collect water and treat as described above. Never return spills in original containers for re -use. Environmental precautions Do not allow to enter drains, sewers or watercourses. Contact local authorities in case of spillage to drain/aquatic environment. 7. Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Take any precaution to avoid mixing with combustibles. Keep away from clothing and other combustible materials. Do not get this material in your eyes, on your skin, or on your clothing. Do not breathe dust or mist or vapor of the solution. If clothing becomes contaminated, remove and wash off immediately. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Good personal hygiene is necessary. Wash hands and contaminated areas with water and soap before leaving the work site. Avoid release to the environment. Conditions for safe storage, Store locked up. Keep container tightly closed and in a well -ventilated place. Store in a cool, dry including any incompatibilities place. Store away from incompatible materials (See Section 10). Follow applicable local/national/international recommendations on storage of oxidizers. Store in accordance with NFPA 430 requirements for Class II oxidizers. 8.
