Aluminum Nitrate Disposal
I’ve been silver refining for quite a while and have found myself with around 40 gals silver refining byproduct I need to safely dispose of. Once all my silver has dropped out of solution I use large pieces of aluminum to drop out the copper.
After a while the liquid turns nearly clear letting me know the majority of copper has been removed. I then dump the resulting solution in a large drum and now here I am.
My questions is what is the safest way to dispose of this byproduct? I’ve read aluminum nitrate is quit reactive so dumping it down the drain I assume is out of the questions. I want to make sure it’s done properly.
Any procedures to neutralize would be appreciated.
