Spill emergency treatment?
Quickly evacuate the personnel in the leaked contaminated area to a safe area, and isolate them,
strictly restricting access. Cut off the fire source. It is recommended that emergency personnel
wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus and fire protection clothing. Cut off the
source of leakage as much as possible to prevent entering restricted spaces such as sewers and flood
drains.
Small spills: Absorb with activated carbon or other inert material. It can also be washed with a
large amount of water, and the washed water need to be diluted and put into the waste water
system.
Large amount of leakage: Construct dikes or dig pits for containment, and cover them with foam to
reduce steam disasters. Use an explosion-proof pump to transfer to a tank truck or a special
collector, recycle or transport to a waste disposal site for disposal.
