What Should Be Done If Ammonium Metatungstate Leaks During Storage?

If ammonium metatungstate leaks during storage, the following emergency measures should be taken:

 

Stop operation immediately

Once a leakage of ammonium metatungstate is detected, the first priority is to stop all operations related to the leaking substance immediately.

 

Evacuate people

Rapidly evacuate people in the vicinity of the leak area to a safe place and ensure that they are away from the source of the leak.

 

Isolate the leak area

Set up clear warning signs and isolate the leak area to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering.

 

Personal Protection

Personnel entering the spill area for emergency response should wear appropriate protective equipment such as protective clothing, gloves, goggles and respirators.

 

Leak Control

Use absorbent materials (e.g. sand, soil, special adsorbents, etc.) to adsorb the leaked ammonium metatungstate as far as possible to minimize its further pollution to the environment.

If the amount of leakage is large, it may be necessary to use specialized leakage control equipment or tools, such as leakage collectors, pumps, etc.

 

Prevent leakage from spreading

Use appropriate cofferdams or barriers to prevent the leaking substance from spreading to a larger area.

If the spill occurs near a water source, take measures to prevent the spilled material from entering the water body.

 

Cleanup

Thoroughly clean up the spill area while ensuring safety.

Appropriate tools and equipment should be used during cleanup to avoid direct contact with the spilled material.

 

Waste disposal

Dispose of the waste and leaked material generated during the cleanup process properly in accordance with relevant regulations to prevent secondary pollution to the environment.

 

Reporting and Recording

After completing the emergency response, the spill should be reported to the higher authorities or relevant organizations immediately.

At the same time, the process and results of the spillage accident should be recorded in detail for subsequent analysis and improvement.

 

Preventive Measures

The cause of the leakage should be analyzed in depth after the incident and corresponding preventive measures should be taken to prevent the recurrence of similar accidents. Regularly inspect and maintain the storage facilities to ensure that they are in good working condition.

 

The above measures are only general suggestions, and the specific emergency treatment plan should be adjusted according to the actual situation of leakage and site conditions. When dealing with ammonium metatungstate leakage accidents, relevant safety regulations and operation procedures should always be followed to ensure the safety of personnel and environment.
