Transportation and Disposal. Only highly alkaline forms of soluble sihcates are regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) as hazardous materials for transportation. When discarded, these ate classified as hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Typical members of this class are sodium sihcate solutions having sihca-to-alkah ratios of less than 1.6 and sodium sihcate powders with ratios of less than 1.0. In the recommended treatment and disposal method, the soluble sihcates are neutralized with aqueous acid (6 Af or equivalent), and the resulting sihca gel is disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations. The neutral hquid, a salt solution, can be flushed iato sewer systems (86). 

Solution polymerization can use various solvents, primarily aUphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. The choice of solvent is usually dictated by cost, avaHabihty, solvency, toxicity, flammabiUty, and polymer stmcture. SSBR polymerization depends on recovery and reuse of the solvent for economical operation as well as operation under the air-quaUty perrnitting of the local, state, and federal mandates involved.
