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
