use a solution of 1 Tbl to a quart of water to neutralize minor acid spills and

All this stuff is cheaper than Baking Soda per pound. Be careful! When you add
calcium oxide to water it can heat up, so do it slowly. Anyway, add diluted
battery acid to a dilute solution of lime (also take care because this reaction
is also exothermic) to until the pH is neutral (pH 6-7) and then you can dispose
of it pretty much anyway you want. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

By chance I found a half-full gallon jug full of lead-acid battery electrolyte.
It has begun to leak. With no knowledge of its history, age, origin, etc. I'm
not sure how to dispose of it safely. <br>
<br>
I don't think I've ever seen this addressed on this list before. Can anyone
help with some simple solutions?<br>
<br>
Thanks, Allan<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
