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><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape id="_x0000_s1026" style='position:absolute;margin-left:0;margin-top:0;width:50pt;height:50pt;z-index:1;visibility:hidden' coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="100" o:preferrelative="t" adj="0,,0" path="" filled="f">
