Operation:
Disposal of waste that contains nanoparticles in a liquid dispersion:
- Liquid dispersions
- “Solid” waste from cleaning liquid dispersion work spaces and equipment
- Waste from dispersion spill cleanup
Scope
- Liquid dispersions of nanomaterials will be stored in a ventilated enclosures until they are properly packaged and sealed for disposition
- Standard waste analysis will be performed on any waste which contains nanomaterials
- Appropriate waste streams will be determined based on analysis results
- As new, proven analysis methods and techniques are developed for nanomaterials, they will be employed in waste stream characterization
