Mordançage-disposing of chemicals
Hi,
I'm thinking of trying the Mordançage process, and I would like advice on how to dispose of the solution afterwards (or how much it'd be to get it professionally disposed of). It'll be made up of 10g copper (II) chloride, 50ml glacial acetic acid, 105ml 12% hydrogen peroxide, made up to 1 litre with de-ionised water. Would I need to add something to it to make it less harmful, or is there a dilution value with water that would make it safe to go down the drain. (I'm in UK if it makes any difference) Thanks |

Hi. Sorry - sorry, do not know about the Mordançage disposal issues but just thought I say welcome to the forum!
Cheers, Bob. |

Both methods will fizz quite a bit and give off fumes (try not to breath them in). Once the precipitates have been filtered out, the remaining liquid should be fairly safe to dispose of down the drain. To dispose of the remaining sludge, I'd suggest mixing it in with some old paint, wait for it to dry out, and then drop it in the bin. The hydrogen peroxide content will break down naturally and is not an environmental problem as far as I'm aware. |

You only need to worry about most chemicals put into the public sewer if you use a lot of it - 1000+ litres. The amount you are liable to dispose of as an occasional amateur user is negligible and will be undetectable by man or beast.
