How to dispose of waste chlorine tanks?
Thread Content
Dozens of waste chlorine tanks, containing small amounts of liquid chlorine, have valves that are completely rusted shut and cannot be opened; it is also dangerous to try to force them open for fear that the liquid chlorine could leak out and get out of control. The solution proposed by the company’s veteran engineers was to use a machine tool to create a hole the size of a pinhole in the chlorine gas tank, below the surface level of the dilute alkali solution, so that the alkali solution could be used to absorb and treat it. The idea of using an alkaline solution for absorption is correct, but it seems unreliable to use a machine tool to make holes beneath the surface of the dilute alkaline solution; however, the old man insisted that there would be no problems, so I didn’t know what to say. I wonder if Haiyou thinks the above approach is feasible? Is there any better way? Thank you
It should be possible, but without any pressure inside, can’t one wear a gas mask and still function normally? Yes, **it’s fine as long as proper protection is in place; then it can be neutralized with an alkali.**
Could he determine approximately what the pressure inside the tank is? ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Using an alkali solution for neutralization – the key factor is whether there is pressure or not. How to charge it is the key
I don’t understand what it means to make a hole using a machine tool under the surface of the dilute alkali solution It’s a tank for waste chlorine, containing a small amount of liquid chlorine; I think a hole should be made in the top of this tank to introduce an alkaline solution for neutralization. There are specialized magnetic drilling machines; as long as no one is around, it should work!
It’s a good idea, but is it possible to carry out the operation under the water surface?
If one is not concerned about acid waste pollution or equipment damage, and is at a sufficient distance, it should be possible

As for how to deal with similar problems in the future: those that can be replaced should be replaced, and those that can be cleaned should be thoroughly cleaned before being stored together. The tricky problem now is figuring out how to deal with these bottles. Methods such as drilling, cutting, or forcing them open are clearly not viable; everything remains unknown. If drilling is done, how can the situation be controlled? And what exactly is the amount of liquid chlorine present? How wide is the scope of the damage? How much pressure is there? What is the maximum allowable ppm level for the hazardous substance NCl3? NCl3 is explosive. Well, let’s gather it together and hand it over to the fire department, special forces, or the chemical defense unit; let them deal with it. The chemical defense unit knows how to handle such situations.
How was the handling result? Everyone wants to know how it was dealt with Please reply
