How should waste containing benzoic acid (CAS: 1079-02-3) be handled?
Answer
Waste containing benzoic acid (CAS: 1079-02-3) should be collected in appropriate containers and stored in a secure location away from ignition sources. For small quantities, neutralization with an alkaline solution can be used to reduce its corrosive potential before disposal. For larger quantities, professional waste disposal companies should be contacted to ensure safe incineration or chemical treatment, with proper environmental precautions taken to prevent contamination of soil and water resources.
