Bulk storage techniques

In a review of the comparative properties of sodium and potassium, the latter is rated as invariably the more hazardous [1]. Laboratory procedures for safe handling of potassium have been detailed [2], A safe method for disposal of potassium residues in bulk storage and processing vessels has been developed. Basically the method involves reaction of the metallic residues with dry (condensate-free) steam under closely controlled conditions. It may be used where small-scale techniques...
