By adding the acid to the water, the acid is the limiting part of the reaction, which helps keep things in control. The Wikipedia entry for sulfuric acid suggests adding the acid to ice, which not only fulfills the directive of the poem but also helps by starting everything at a lower temperature. Nice idea.</div><div><br></div><div>I agree with those who posted taking the jug to a hazardous waste facility or battery store. Either should be equipped to handle the electrolyte in the best way. The leaking jug can be contained by putting it in a 5-gallon bucket or something similar, and then you could clean up the stuff that leaked out with baking soda.</div><div><br></div><div>Scott</div><div><br><div><div>On Jan 10, 2011, at 4:09 PM, Peter Parrish wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="place">

slaked lime (calcium hydroxide), or even agricultural lime (calcium carbonate).
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:

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>
