The following steps should be taken to ensure safety when responding to a spill of ammonium metatungstate hydrate:
Emergency Response
Immediately stop the source of the leak: If possible, quickly close the leaking vessel or pipeline valve to stop further leakage.
Call the police and evacuate: quickly notify the local emergency services and evacuate non-essential persons near the spill area.
Personal Protection.
Wear appropriate protective equipment including protective clothing, protective gloves, goggles and breathing mask. This equipment reduces direct contact of ammonium metatungstate hydrate with human skin and eyes, as well as inhalation of dust or gases it produces.
Spillage Control
Use absorbents (e.g., sand, wood chips, etc.) to soak up spilled liquid and reduce its spread.
If the spill is large, it may be necessary to use specialized spill control equipment such as spill control buckets or spill control blankets.
Leakage Disposal
Collect spilled ammonium metatungstate hydrate and store it in appropriate containers for subsequent disposal.
Dispose of spills as hazardous waste following local regulations and standards.
Cleaning and Restoration
Thoroughly clean the spill area to remove residual ammonium metatungstate hydrate.
Appropriate cleaning agents and tools should be used during the cleaning process and good ventilation should be ensured.
After completing the cleaning, inspect the spill area for further risks and carry out any necessary repair and restoration work.
Incident Recording and Reporting
Record the details of the spillage accident, including the time and location of the spillage, the amount of spillage, and the measures taken to deal with the spillage.
Submit the accident report to the relevant authorities for subsequent investigation and analysis.
Preventive Measures
Regularly check the integrity of storage containers and pipelines to ensure that they are free from cracks or breaks.
When handling ammonium metatungstate hydrate, safety operation procedures should be observed to avoid leakage accidents.
Clear warning signs should be set up in the storage area and access of unauthorized personnel should be restricted.
By following the above steps and precautions, the impact of ammonium metatungstate hydrate leakage accidents on people and the environment can be minimized. Meanwhile, regular safety training and drills are recommended to improve employees’ ability and awareness to deal with leakage accidents.
