Laboratory waste management

Waste management systems for single-laboratory operations, for a small college, and for a large university or industrial complex must have substantial differences in detail, but each system should have certain basic characteristics in common. Essentially, four are important in any laboratory waste-management program or system. These are as follows ... 

Check with your state science supervisor, local college or university environmental health and safety specialists and the Laboratory Safety Workshop for advice in the disposal of chemical waste. The American Chemical Society publishes an excellent guidebook, Laboratory Waste Management, A Guidebook (1994).

However, the significance of results from such analyses depends on the quality of the input data. For example, laboratory recipes often do not meticulously document solvent and auxiliary input masses. In many cases, water inputs and waste management are not determined before the pilot stage is reached. Estimates similar to those applied in LCA may be used in order to complete a preliminary mass balance. While such estimations cause considerable uncertainty, it seems more appropriate to evaluate alternatives based on preliminary information, that is, experience-based assumptions concerning the production of substrate or catalyst, than to simply ignore potentially important contributions to the mass balance.

Laboratory- and pilot-scale tests were conducted at the Re-Solve Superfund site in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts, during May and lune, 1992. The technology is no longer commercially available, and Waste Management Inc., no longer supports or employs the technology.
