| How to use Ampho-Mag |
Apply Ampho-Mag™ to accidental spills using a heavy broadcast method. It may also be used as a diking material for containment. Reactions with acids and some aqueous solutions will generate some heat. Reaction with bases creates little or no heat. Ampho-Mag™ is highly effective at containing liquid spills, and preventing them potentially entering the environment.
The amount of Ampho-Mag™ needed to contain an aqueous spill is about the weight of the spill. In order to completely neutralize the spill material, the amount of Ampho-Mag™ required will depend on the concentration of the spilled substance. For instance, 1 gallon of 94% Sulfuric acid needs only 14 pounds of Ampho-Mag™ for complete neutralization. Only 6 pounds of Ampho-Mag™ is necessary to neutralize 1 gallon of 70% Nitric acid. Alkali spills generally require less reagent than for acids. Usually the amount required to contain an alkaline spill is sufficient to neutralize it.
