It has now been 24 days since the hazardous-materials train derailment occurred in Ohio. Yet local residents have already been deeply troubled—every aspect of their lives, from their health to their livelihoods, has been altered by this “toxic train.” We are deeply saddened by this accident.

In industrial production and daily laboratory operations, we must be vigilant against spills and leaks of liquid chemicals. Such incidents can happen in the blink of an eye, making the immediate response of those on site crucial. Even if we do react promptly, how can we avoid panicking and losing our composure? TanTu Technology has the answer for you!

 

Please watch the following video, in which Qiantu Technology demonstrates its emergency adsorption solution for you:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Emergency Adsorption Operation Steps

 

Step 1/2: Risk Assessment / Selection of PPE

When a chemical reagent bottle is spilled, don't rush to right it or immediately start wiping it up. Instead, based on our understanding of the properties of the chemical reagent, put on the correct personal protective equipment—always. Protecting yourself should always be your top priority.

 

 

Step 3: Leak Control

If a reagent bottle or container tips over, we should quickly contain the spill area. We can use strip-shaped oil-absorbing booms for this purpose. At The liquid edge forms a closed containment area.

 

 

Step 4: Truncate the source.

Next, we're going to... Cut off the source of the leak, and right the overturned bottles and jars. . If the leak is For the liquid transport pipeline, we need to repair and contain the pipeline leak. Use tape or a repair compound to seal it—either way, the goal is to minimize its leakage as much as possible. After completing these two steps, we can calmly and systematically deal with the liquid that has already been spilled.

 

 

Step 5: Clean up the leak

If the amount of liquid spilled is relatively large, we can choose this one. Oil-absorbing cotton with a relatively thick texture.

 

 

 

Step 6: Eliminate contamination

Eliminating contamination involves removing the chemical reagents that have accumulated on site personnel and equipment, which can be accomplished through water rinsing or chemical neutralization.

After adsorption products contain chemical reagents, they may become somewhat corrosive. Additionally, when transferring the collected liquid, it’s important to prevent secondary leaks. Therefore, we need to use materials that possess certain... Corrosion-resistant and puncture-proof hazardous waste collection bags.

 

 

Step 7: Write the report

Next, we will follow the relevant safety management regulations to properly keep records, register them, and submit reports. A properly completed report can provide valuable insights for others.

So far, the incident involving the liquid leak has been handled and completed.
