Acid neutralizing capacity, an important waste management parameter

Abstract

The paper presents the influence of acid neutralization capacity in industrial waste samples as a decision indicator. For the analysis of the acid neutralization capacity, 6 samples of wastes from different sectors of activity were subjected. This method is applicable to determine the acid neutralization capacity of material. The acid neutralizing capacity (ANC) was evaluated with HCl 1 N by neutralizing the excess with NaOH 0.5 N after 15 min stirring. From the results obtained it is found that the acid neutralization capacity can provide essential information for the subsequent management of the waste.
