The present application relates to the technical field of hazardous
chemical treatment, and specifically discloses a method for destroying waste
sodium and
potassium, which includes preparing a waste
sodium and
potassium destruction solution using
anhydrous ethanol, long-chain
alkyl silicone oil and polyether-modified
silicone oil, and pouring the waste
sodium and
potassium into the destruction solution for destruction, which can not only safely destroy the waste sodium and potassium, but also add a modifier polyether-modified
silicone oil to
ethanol, the role of the modifier is to increase the
ignition point and
boiling point of
ethanol, reduce the risk of high-temperature
combustion, prevent ethanol from escaping, and ensure that there is no high temperature, open
flame and slow
reaction rate during the reaction process.
Ethanol and sodium and potassium react to produce sodium ethanolate and
hydrogen. The elemental sodium and potassium are heavier than the modifier and sink. In the process of contacting with ethanol, the generated
hydrogen escapes through the modifier, preventing the risk of
hydrogen accumulation and explosion caused by high temperature. This method does not require the establishment of an equipment
system, saving investment costs.
