Transport and treatment of alkaline solutions
Thread Content
My company has some alkaline solutions that need to be transferred and treated. I would like to ask those familiar with environmental regulations: what are the risks associated with carrying out this treatment without proper procedures? Specific details would be appreciated!

Try to make it a by-product; it’s very troublesome if it’s hazardous waste! You need to first carefully examine your company’s environmental impact assessment report to determine the nature of such waste, as well as its quantity ； It’s not mentioned in the report, so a special statement regarding hazardous waste is required; it seems that testing is also necessary ； Specifically, you should consult the department in the local environmental protection agency that is responsible for hazardous waste
If the transfer is not carried out through proper procedures, criminal liability will be incurred!
What if the pH of the alkaline solution is lowered? My friend said that for amounts below 12, only a fine is imposed and no sentence is given. Is there any basis for this? Is the risk lower if it is transported as a product?
By-products are acceptable, but there are no procedures for them; by-products also lack such procedures
Under no circumstances should you do this. Whenever there are problems during transportation or if it is detected, the company will still be held responsible, as you did not follow the proper procedures for transfer. It also doesn’t matter if the pH level drops, because the total salt content remains high
There are specialized manufacturers for the recycling of waste solids and liquids
