Kitty litter

Removal is often enhaneed through methods sueh as solidifieation, freezing (i.e., iee or dry iee), adsorption or absorption (i.e., powdered lime or kitty litter), or melting with a low-energy heat souree (i.e., hair dryer or heat lamp). 

Limit the spread of the spilled substance by containing it with a dike. Use an absorbent material appropriate for the type of spill (e.g., polymer-type absorbents such as spill booms, granular materials such as kitty litter, ground corncobs, etc.). 

Kitty litter costs 3.59 for 25 pounds. How much does 100 pounds cost ... 

The first thing you need is an adsorbant, a porous material that can suck up liquids and solutions. Paper, silica gel, alumina (ultrafine aluminum oxide), corn starch and kitty litter (unused) are all fine adsorbants. Only the first three are used for chromatography. You may or may not need a solid support with these. Paper hangs together, is fairly stiff, and can stand up by itself. Silica gel, alumina, corn starch, and kitty litter are more or less powders and will need a solid support to hold them. 

Storage and production areas that contain isocyanate should have containment walls (bund) that will hold any spilled isocyanate. Spills of solid or liquid isocyanates must be cleaned up immediately. Oil-absorbent granules ("kitty litter") can be used to contain the spill and one of the following... 

Any spills of solvent on the floor should be absorbed into "kitty litter" and disposed of in an approved manner.

Kitty litter or a chemical spill kit should be used to clean spills. For large spills, the school administration and the local fire department should be notified. Biological spills should also be handled only by the teacher. Contamination with biological waste can be cleaned by using bleach when appropriate. 

This reaction is one that you may have observed if you have a cat Urea is a waste product of the breakdown of proteins and is removed from the body in urine. Bacteria in kitty litter produce urease. As the urease breaks down the urea in the cat urine, the ammonia released produces the distinctive odor of an untended litter box. 

Inert absorbents such as vermiculite, clay, sand, kitty litter, and Oil Dri . Papa- is not an inert matoial and should not be used to clean up oxidizing agents such as nitric acid. 

Because acids and bases are used with some frequency in the laboratory, it is not uncommon to have to clean up an acid or base spill. Spills can be adsorbed using universal chemical adsorbents however, these do not neutralize acids or bases. Vermiculite (hydrated silicates) or kitty litter (clay) are often used as absorbents. A universal adsorbent consisting of a 1 1 1 mixture of kitty litter, sodium bicarbonate, and sand has been used by some institutions. ... 

Solvents and flammable liquids can be cleaned up using vermicuUte, kitty litter, or activated charcoal. Commercial sorbents are also available, such as Spill-X-S , Solusorb , or Chemsorb . These sorbents can be used for spills of other organic chemicals but should not be used for oxidizing agents.

There are 48 naturally occurring zeolites (even found on Mars ), and more than 150 synthetic varieties (Figure 2.86). - The natural varieties are mostly used in applications such as concrete, soil treatment ( zeoponics - e.g., controlled release of fertilizer or nutrients such as or N2), and even kitty litter that are not affected by their high levels of compositional and structural heterogeneity. However, synthetic zeolites possess a uniform and precise composition and structure, which...
